Certainly! Let's solve the problem step-by-step.
1. Understanding the Given Values:
- The cost of petrol is given as £2.5 per litre.
- We need to find out how much 15 litres of petrol would cost at this rate.
2. Setting Up the Problem:
- We need to calculate the total cost by multiplying the cost per litre by the number of litres.
3. Mathematical Calculation:
- Cost per litre of petrol: £2.5
- Amount of petrol: 15 litres
- To find the total cost, we will multiply these two values.
- Total Cost = Cost per litre Amount in litres
- Total Cost = £2.5 15
4. Calculation:
- Total Cost = £37.5
5. Conclusion:
- The cost for 15 litres of petrol at the given rate is £37.5.
Thus, 15 litres of petrol would cost £37.5 at the same station.
