Given the following question:

Part A:

75 dollars to spend on gaS

Gas per gallon costs $2.80


\begin{gathered} 75/2.80=26.7857143 \\ 26.7857143 \\ 8>5 \\ 26.8\text{ gallons of gas} \end{gathered}

With 75 dollars you can buy "26.8 gallons of gas."

Part B:

We know we can travel 230 miles with 26.8 gallons of gas, now we have to find out how many miles can we travel PER gallon of gas.


\begin{gathered} 230/26.8=10.4477612 \\ 10.4477612 \\ 4<5 \\ 10.4\text{ miles per gallons} \end{gathered}

"10.4 miles" per gallon
