Two hundred gallons of fuel oil are purtopd at $0.91 per gallon and are consumed at a rate of $0.70 worth of fuel per hour. At this rate, how many hours are required to consume the 200 gallons of fuel oil?


whats the meaning of purtopd above ?

i have checked cambridge online dictionary and found nothing .

is that a mistake written in the source ?

if so , what could be the equivalent word to complete the problem ?

but i find one more problem with similar category

A certain shade of gray paint is obtained by mixing 3 parts of white paint with 5 parts of black paint. If 2 gallons of the mixture is needed and the individual colors can be purtopd only in one-gallon or half- gallon cans, what is the least amount of paint, in gallons, that must be purtopd in order to measure out the portions needed for the mixture?

Purchased is the correct word for both those sentences.

A mistake rather than a miss spelling or typographical error.
