Question

At a corner gas station, the revenue R varies directly with the number g of gallons of gasoline sold. If the revenue is $24.60 when the number of gallons sold is 6, find a linear equation that relates revenue R to the number g of gallons of gasoline. What is the revenue when the number of gallons of gasoline sold is 10.5

Answer 1

At a corner gas station, the revenue R varies directly with the number g of gallons of gasoline sold. If the revenue is $24.60 when the number of gallons sold is 6, find a linear equation that relates revenue R to the number g of gallons of gasoline. What is the revenue when the number of gallons of gasoline sold is 10.5

we have that

the linear equation is

R=4.1g

so

For g=10.5

substitute

R=4.1*(10.5)

R=$43.05
