Deacon · Answer 1

We divide 100 miles by each car ... 100/25 = 4 gallons on that car

100/32 = 3.125 gallons on this one

subtract the two answers 4 - 3.125 and we get a savings of. 875 gallons on 100 miles.

Eric · Answer 2

The answer is B ...875 gallons

25/1=100/x

25x=100

x=100/25=4 gallons

32/1=100/x

32x=100

x=100/32

x=3.125 gallons

4-3.125=0.875 gallons
