Answer 1

`\textbf{Price of 1 gallon of gas in our area : }\bf x=(P)/(15)`

Explanation:

Let the price of 1 gallon gas = $x

Capacity of gas tank of the car = 15 gallons

Total price for filling the car tank = $ 15·x

But the price for filling the tank is given to be $P

⇒ 15·x = P

`\textbf{So, price of 1 gallon of gas in our area : }\bf x=(P)/(15)`
