Question

At one gas station, gas costs $2.75 per gallon. Write an equation that relates the total cost, C, to the number of gallons of gas purchased, g. Complete the equation below C = _________ Use g as your variable.

Answer 1

The equation will be:

• C = 2.75g

Explanation:

Given that at one station, gas costs $2.75 per gallon.

Let 'g' be the number of gallons of gas purchases

Let 'C' be the total cost

Thus, the expression for total cost can be generated by multiplying the price per gallon by the number of gallons.

Thus,

C = 2.75g

Therefore, the equation will be:

• C = 2.75g
