  1. $18
  2. $16
  3. $14
  4. $16
  5. $10

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

A Bus Averages 40 kilometer per gallon of fuel. Bus B averages 50 kilometers per gallon of fuel. If the price of fuel is $3 per gallon, how much less would an 800-kilometer trip cost for bus B than for Bus A?

Bus A consumption for 800 kilometers = 800/40 = 20 gallons

Bus B consumption for 800 kilometers = 800/50 = 16 gallons

Less consumption = 20 -16 = 4

Less cost = 4 × 3 = 12
