Question

Bonnie filled her cars glass 10 1/2 and paid $15.25. what is the cost of gasoline per gallon?

Answer 1

We can see that the car gas tank was filled to 10 1/2 gallon

Since $15.25 was paid, we need to know the cost of the gas per gallon

Mathematically, we can express 10 1/2 as 10.5

So the cost per gallon will be;

amount paid/capacity of gas tank filled

That would be; 15.25/10.5 = 1.452381

This is approximately $1.45 per gallon of gas
