Costs

It costs money to fuel an airplane, much more than to put gas in a car, even with the recent price increases.

When we flew our plane overseas, we had to buy gas in a foreign currency.

Here are just a few of the currencies we paid for gasoline in overseas.

Let’s practice.

1. If our gas bill in India was 6400 Rupees, how many US Dollars did we pay?

7. The above table represents the trip budget. Draw a pie chart that represents the expenses listed above.

8. In the chart above, the author’s desire is to represent an equal proportion of Asian and European countries. To maintain that proportion, what country is possible to list in lieu of the question mark?
   
   
9. McDonald’s serves 333,333 people at 200 of its restaurants each day. How many people does it serve in all 30,000 worldwide restaurants?

11. Say you decided to take flying lessons. If you paid for five hours in advance, you get a discount of 5 percent. The bill came to $451.25. What is the regular price for a one hour lesson?
