Answer 1

The set of states G with regular gasoline prices greater than the national average of $2.16 per gallon is {A, B, C, D, E}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to use the listing method to determine the set of states G that had regular gasoline at a price greater than the national average. The national average price of regular gasoline is given as $2.16 per gallon, or 216 cents per gallon. We need to list the set of states where the price of regular gasoline is greater than $2.16 per gallon.

1. State A: regular gasoline price is $2.20 per gallon
2. State B: regular gasoline price is $2.25 per gallon
3. State C: regular gasoline price is $2.30 per gallon
4. State D: regular gasoline price is $2.35 per gallon
5. State E: regular gasoline price is $2.40 per gallon

So the set of states G with regular gasoline prices greater than the national average of $2.16 per gallon is {A, B, C, D, E}.
