the number of gallons bought is 15 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of gallons bought = g

Total cost of the g gallons = $43.95

The cost of one gallon = $2.93

Total cost of g gallons = Number of gallons bought × The cost of one gallon

$43.95 = g × $2.93

43.95 = 2.93g

Divide both sides by 2.93:

43.95/2.93 = 2.93g/2.93

15 = g

Hence, the number of gallons bought is 15 gallons
