Answer :
Answer:
Annual savings= $924
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The car gets 25 miles per gallon (mpg). The truck gets 10 mpg. You want to improve gas mileage to save money, and you have enough money to upgrade one vehicle. The upgrade cost will be the same for both vehicles. An upgraded car will get 40 mpg; an upgraded truck will get 12.5 mpg. The cost of gasoline is $3.30 per gallon. Calculate the annual fuel savings, in gallons, for the truck and car assuming both vehicles are driven 8,000 miles per year.
Current cost= (8,000/25)*3.30 + (8,000/10)*3.30= $3,696
New cost= (8,000/40)*3.3 + (8,000/12.5)*3.3= $2,772
Annual savings= 3,696 - 2,772= $924
