Answer 1

$43 per 10 gallon

Let's divide the dollar amount by gallons to get unit rate.

Thus,

43/10

= 4.3 dollars per gallon

Then,

62.05 dollars per 15 gallons, we can divide same way to get the unit rate. Thus,

62.05/15 = 4.14 dollars per gallon

Obviously, the 2nd one is the better deal!

The unit rate is $4.14 per gallon.
