Question

Tyra buys 14 gallons of gas for $35. How could she figure out how much 1 gallon of gas cost

Answer 1

The cost of 1 gallon is $2.5

Explanation:

Given

Cost of 14 gallons = $35

Required

Determine the cost of 1 gallon

From the given parameters, we have:

`14\ gallons = \$35`

Divide both sides by 14

`(14\ gallons)/(14) = (\$35)/(14)`

`1\ gallon = (\$35)/(14)`

`1\ gallon = \$2.5`

Hence,

The cost of 1 gallon is $2.5
