Over the weekend, Statton and Tyler drove to Montana to go hunting. Now they're preparing to go home. Tyler needs gas for his jeep, which gets 23 miles per gallon for gas mileage. When he stops at the gas station, he already has 6 gallons og gas in his tank. He buys more gas for $1.25 per gallon.

If Tyler spends $18.50 on gas, what is the total distance the boys could travel? Round, if necessary, to the nearest tenth.

About 483 miles as 18.5 would mean that he got 14.8 miles so i rounded it to 15. Six multiplied by 23 is 138 + 15 multiplied by 23 = 345 so a total of 483.
