Answer : The cost of pennies to buy 125 L of gasoline would be, $71.92
Explanation :
As we are given that the cost to buy gasoline is $2.186/gallon.
Now we have to determine the cost to buy 125 L of gasoline.
First we have to convert 125 L into gallon.
Conversion used:
(1 gallon = 128 oz, 1 oz= 29.6 mL, 1 mL = 0.001 L)
As, 1 L = 1000 mL
So, 125 L = 125000 mL
and,
As, 29.6 mL = 1 oz
So, 125000 mL = [tex]\frac{125000mL}{29.6mL}\times 1oz=4222.9oz[/tex]
and,
As, 128 oz = 1 gallon
So, 4222.9 oz = [tex]\frac{4222.9oz}{128oz}\times 1\text{ gallon}=32.9\text{ gallon}[/tex]
Now we have to determine the cost to buy 125 L of gasoline.
As, the cost of 1 gallon of gasoline = $2.186
So, the cost of 32.9 gallon of gasoline = $2.186 × 32.9
= $71.92
Therefore, the cost of pennies to buy 125 L of gasoline would be, $71.92
