C Exercises: Calculate average consumption from the given total distance and fuel spent

C Basic Declarations and Expressions: Exercise-14 with Solution

Calculate bike’s average consumption

Write a C program to calculate a bike’s average consumption from the given total distance (integer value) travelled (in km) and spent fuel (in litters, float number – 2 decimal points).

C Code:

#include <stdio.h>
int main() 
{
    int x;    // Variable to store total distance in km
    float y;  // Variable to store total fuel spent in liters

    // Prompt user for total distance and store in 'x'
    printf("Input total distance in km: ");
    scanf("%d",&x);
    
    // Prompt user for total fuel spent and store in 'y'
    printf("Input total fuel spent in liters: ");
    scanf("%f", &y);
    
    // Calculate and print average consumption
    printf("Average consumption (km/lt) %.3f ",x/y);
    printf("\n");

    return 0;
}

Sample Output:

Input total distance in km: 350                                        
Input total fuel spent in liters: 5                                    
Average consumption (km/lt) 70.000
