Amal drives her car for work.
she claim 40p per mile from her employer.

amal’s car travels 52 miles for each gallon of petrol.
she pays £5,36 per gallon for petrol.

on one journey amal drives 260 miles.
for this journey, how much more does she claim than she pays for petrol?

£7,878

Step-by-step explanation:

she gets:

40p× 260 miles = 10,400p

she pays:

52 : 5.36= £9.70 per mile

260 x 9.70 = £2,522

to find out what she claimes more than she pays: 10,400 - 2,522 = 7,878

1. Find the least common denominator

2. multiply both sides by the least common denominator.

3. Simplify by getting the variables (the letters, Ex: 12x ) on one side and the constants (numbers without letters. Ex: 12)

4. Simplify
