Question

You bought 12.2 gallons for $1.87/gallon. How much did you spend on gas?

Answer 1

The amount spent on gas is $22.814

Here, we want to calculate the amount spent on gas given the unit price and the number of gallons bought

Mathematically, we can have this amount by multiplying the unit price (price per gallon) by the number of gallons bought

Thus, we have this as;

`\begin{gathered} \text{Amount spent = 12.2 gal }*\text{ \$1.87/ gal} \\ \text{Amount spent = \$22.814} \end{gathered}`
