Solution

The correct option is B 285 miles
Distance covered by car using one gallon of fuel =125 miles
Distance covered by car using 73 gallons of fuel = Distance covered by car using one gallon of fuel × 73
=125×73

=12×75×3

=2×2×3×75×3 miles

=285 miles

Hence, John can travel 285 miles using 73 gallons of fuel.
