Philippe had an American car imported into France. On a trip to Paris he used 33 liters of gas. The​ tank, which he filled before starting the​ trip, holds 15 gallons of gas. How many liters of gas were left in the tank when he arrived in​ Paris? ​(Round to the nearest​ hundredth.)

1 answer

First, we need to convert the 15 gallons to liters. Since 1 gallon is equal to 3.78541 liters, we have:

15 gallons * 3.78541 liters/gallon = 56.79 liters

Therefore, the tank had 56.79 liters of gas before the trip.

Since Philippe used 33 liters of gas during the trip, we can subtract that from the initial amount:

56.79 liters - 33 liters = 23.79 liters

Therefore, Philippe had approximately 23.79 liters of gas left in the tank when he arrived in Paris.
