A car uses one litre of petrol for every 14km. If one of petrol cost N63.00, how far can the car go with N900.00 worth of petrol?
- A. 420km
- B. 405km
- C. 210km
- D. 200km
Correct Answer: D. 200km
Explanation
1 litre = N63.00
xlitres = N900.00
x x N63 = N900 x 1 litre
x = \(\frac{900}{63} \times litre\)
x = \(\frac{100}{7}\) litres
Also, 1 litre = 14km
\(\frac{100}{7}\) = y
y x 1 litre = \(\frac{100litre}{7}\) x 14km
y = 200km
