If I drove $38.91$ miles, and my car gets $22$ miles to the gallon, and gas cost $ $3.699$ per gallon, how much did I spend on gas?

I'm sure this is an algebra problem, but I can't think where to put the X to my equation to try and figure this out

    Never mind! I can't see how to unpost this, so instead, I'll share what just dawned on me, since I apparently had a case on "brain blank" If 22 miles = 1 gallon, and I drove 38.91 miles, then 38.91 / 22 = 1.769 1.769 x $3.699 per gallon = $6.54 So I spent about $6.54 on gas Thank You All Anyway!2012-09-05

    There should be a series of links "share edit close **delete** flag" at the bottom of the question. The one you want is "delete". Congratulations on solving your own problem!2012-09-05

    Kelly, you can write it up as an answer, then later you can accept it, if you want to.2012-09-05
