Question

Next year the cost of gasoline will increase $1.25 from the current price. If the cost of a gallon

of gasoline next year will be $4.50, what is the current price of gasoline?

Answer 1

3.25

Explanation:

Cost will increase by 1.25$

So it will be 4.50$

Which means that in order to know how much the current price of gasoline is, we need to subtract:

4.50-1.25=3.25$

So the current cost of gasoline is 3.25$
