gallon. Select the expression(s) that you can use to find how much more you paid in June than in February. Then find this amount
14.5 (3.18 - 1.88)
14.5 x 1.88 - 14.5 x 3.18

Answer:

14.5 × 3.18 - 14.5 x 1.88

You paid $18.85 more in june than in February

Explanation:

In order to find the answer to this question you will need to find how much you paid in June and how much you paid in February.

ex.14.5 x 3.18 - 14.5 x 1.88

To solve this you need to find the product of 14.5 x 3.18 and 14.5 x 1.88 and then subtract them from eachother.

ex.14.5 x 3.18 =46.11

14.5 x 1.88=27.26

46.11-27.26=18.85
