Using the principle of proportional relationship, the 42 L of gas can go for a further 165 km

Consumption rate = 8L for 100 km

Km per Litre :

8L = 100km

1 L = m

8m = 100

m = (100 ÷ 8)

= 12.5 kilometer per Litre

Number of kilometers for 42 L

12.5 km = 1 L

m = 42 L

Cross multiply

m = 12.5 × 42

m = 525 km

The difference in the distance = 525 - 360 = 165 km

Therefore, the gas can go for a further 165 km
