Question

You have $30 to spend on gas for your vehicle this week. If gas costs $2.42 per gallon, how many gallons of gas can you buy? Round your answer to the nearest gallon.

Answer 1

you can get 12 gallons on gas

Explanation:

x/30=1/2.42

step 1) cross multiply

x * 2.42 = 1 * 30

2.42x=30

step 2) divide both sides by 2.42

2.42x/2.42 = 30/2.42

= 12.396694

round to the nearest gallon

≈12 gallons
