In this problem you are asked to calculate the fuel cost per person for a passenger traveling from Los Angeles to Hawaii to Tokyo.

First calculate how much fuel is used in the trip described. For each take-off and landing the plane uses 1,500 lbs of fuel. You have a take-off from Los Angeles, a landing and a take-off from Hawaii, and finally the landing in Tokyo.
fuel for landing and take-offs $\(=1,500 \mathrm{lbs} \cdot 4=6,000 \mathrm{lbs}\)$
Now calculate the amount of fuel burned in the air using the information given in the problem:

$$
\(183 persons \cdot \frac{100 }{500 miles \cdot person } \cdot 6,501 \text { mile }=237,936.6 \mathrm{lbs}\)
$$


Now divide the total amount of fuel used by the number of passengers and multiply by the price:

$$
\(\frac{237,936.6 lbs+6,000 lbs}{183 persons} \cdot \frac{ 2511}{l b}=\$ 334.71\)
$$


You have calculated the price of fuel per passenger as $\$ 334.71$. Enter your result in the text box.
