Question

Jesse goes to the gas station and buys water and gatorade for $7.89. He also fills up on gas for $2.15 per gallon. The equation can be represented by the function c left parenthesis g right parenthesis equals 2.15 g plus 7.89. If he buys 13 gallons of gas, how much did he spend at the gas station? $44.91 $23.04 $2.38 $35.84

Answer 1

The amount spent at the gas station if Jesse buys 13 gallons of gas is $35.84.

Explanation:

The equation representing the amount spent at the gas station is:

`c (g)=2.15\cdot g+7.89`

Compute the amount spent at the gas station if Jesse buys 13 gallons of gas as follows:

`c (g)=2.15\cdot g+7.89`

`=(2.15* 13)+7.89\\\\=27.95+7.89\\\\=35.84`

Thus, the amount spent at the gas station if Jesse buys 13 gallons of gas is $35.84.
