To determine how many more miles per gallon Gabi can go if she uses gas from Good Gas, we need to compare the number of miles driven per gallon for each brand.
For Go Gas, the number of miles driven per gallon is as follows:
5.5 gallons of gas = 170.5 miles driven
10.2 gallons of gas = 316.2 miles driven
12.0 gallons of gas = 372.0 miles driven
14.5 gallons of gas = 449.5 miles driven
For Good Gas, the number of miles driven per gallon is as follows:
3.75 gallons of gas = 127.5 miles driven
9.4 gallons of gas = 319.6 miles driven
12.6 gallons of gas = 428.4 miles driven
16.0 gallons of gas = 544.0 miles driven
To find the difference in miles per gallon, we subtract the number of miles driven per gallon for Go Gas from the number of miles driven per gallon for Good Gas.
For 5.5 gallons of gas:
Good Gas - Go Gas = 127.5 miles - 170.5 miles = -43 miles
For 10.2 gallons of gas:
Good Gas - Go Gas = 319.6 miles - 316.2 miles = 3.4 miles
For 12.0 gallons of gas:
Good Gas - Go Gas = 428.4 miles - 372.0 miles = 56.4 miles
For 14.5 gallons of gas:
Good Gas - Go Gas = 544.0 miles - 449.5 miles = 94.5 miles
Therefore, Gabi can go 43 more miles per gallon if she uses gas from Good Gas for her car.
