The car that George used for 60km the fuel consumption rate of 5,2 litres for 100km.The cost of petrol on the day was R11,90 per litre.Calculate the cost of the petrol for 60km?

First, we need to calculate how many litres of petrol George used for 60km.

Fuel consumption rate = 5.2 litres per 100km
Fuel consumption for 60km = (5.2/100) * 60 = 3.12 litres

Next, we need to calculate the cost of the petrol for 60km.

Cost per litre = R11.90
Cost of petrol for 60km = 3.12 litres * R11.90 = R37.15

Therefore, the cost of the petrol for 60km is R37.15.

1. Calculate the amount of fuel used for 60km:

- Fuel consumption rate: 5.2 liters per 100km
- Distance traveled: 60km

Fuel used = (Fuel consumption rate - Distance traveled) / 100
Fuel used = (5.2 - 60) / 100
Fuel used = 3.12 liters

2. Calculate the cost of the petrol:

- Cost of petrol per liter: R11.90
- Fuel used: 3.12 liters

Cost of petrol = Cost per liter - Fuel used
Cost of petrol = 11.90 - 3.12
Cost of petrol = R37.13
