Q. Lea's car travels an average of 3030 miles per gallon of gas. If she spent $20.70 \$ 20.70 on gas for a 172172.55 mile trip, what was the approximate cost of gas in dollars per gallon?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) $1.45 \$ 1.45 per gallon\newline(B) $3.40 \$ 3.40 per gallon\newline(C) $3.60 \$ 3.60 per gallon\newline(D) $5.75 \$ 5.75 per gallon
  1. Calculate Gas Usage: First, let's find out how many gallons of gas Lea used for her trip. We'll divide the total miles by the miles per gallon her car gets.
  2. Determine Cost per Gallon: Now, we need to figure out the cost per gallon. We'll divide the total amount spent on gas by the number of gallons used.
