Another speed problem

by GmatTakerNo.1 » Sun May 02, 2010 12:20 pm
When Johns travels at 120 km/h he uses 30% more fuel than when he travels only at 80 km/h. If he can travel 19.5 km on one liter at 80 km/h, how far can he travel with 10 liters of fuel at 120 km/h?

The answer is 150 km.

At speed 80km/h: In 1 liter, 19.5 km
At speed 120 km/h: 19.5 km will need 1.3 liters

At speed 120 km/h: 10 liters will suffice 10*19.5/1.3 = 150 km
