This is a very simple problem, but I keep coming up with 37.5 as the average?

The OA is 38

Total miles = 10 + 50 = 60 miles
When driven in the city, gallons = 10/25 = 2/5 = 0.4
When driven on the highway, gallons = 50/40 = 5/4 = 1.25
Total gallons = 0.4 + 1.25 = 1.65
Therefore, average number of miles per gallon that the car travels = 60 miles/1.65 gallons = 36.36 miles per gallon

[spoiler]The correct answer is D.[/spoiler]

Can you check the OA please?

Sorry the OA is 36 indeed. I was doing a weighted average of 25(10)+50(40)/60 which gave me 38. I see the correct method now. Thanks!

In city, 10 miles can be drove with .4 Gallons

In Hgwy, 50 miles cab be drove with 1.25 Gallons

=> 60 miles are be drove by 1.65 Gallons.
so, average number of miles per gallon that the car travel is 60/1.65 = 36.36


IMO is D

D.)36
