Answer:

A customer will get 1 gallon for $3.50.

A customer will pay $ 21 for 6 gallons.

A customer will get 4 gallons for $14.00.

A customer will get 2 gallons for $7.00.

Explanation:

This is solved using the unitary method .

Four gallons cost $ 14

1 gallon costs $ 14/4= $ 3.5

6 gallons cost = $ $ 14/4 *6= $ 21

2 gallons cost = $ 14/4 *2= $14/2= $ 7

A customer will get 1 gallon for $3.50.

A customer will pay $ 21 for 6 gallons.

A customer will get 4 gallons for $14.00.

A customer will get 2 gallons for $7.00.

This can be found out by using the direct ratio as well.

Gallons Cost

4 $14

1 x

Using cross product

x*4= $ 14*1

x= $ 14/4 = $3.5

The same can be applied to find the rest and we get the same answers.
