The former owner of a used car told the new buyer that the car could travel for 36.4 miles on one gallon of gasoline. The buyer tested the car by driving it for 170 miles on 4.5 gallons of gasoline. Was this better or worse than the claim, and by how many miles per gallon? (Round to the nearest tenth.)

Question 2

A small-appliance merchant using the average cost method of valuing inventory has 65 toasters remaining in inventory. The merchant purchased toasters over a three-month period as follows: 40 purchased at 8.00 on April 1, 60 purchased at 7.70 on May 1, and 20 purchased at 7.80 on June 1 . Compute the value of the ending inventory of toasters at average cost.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
