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.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Looking at the sun may not only cause headache and distort your vision temporarily, but it can also cause permanent eye damage. Any exposure to sunlight adds to the cumulative effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on your eyes. UV exposure has been linked to eye disorders such as macular degeneration, solar retinitis, and corneal dystrophies.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
