Answer 1

Given :

The store sells gasoline for .25 per gallon below it's regular cost per gallon.

Suppose the store sells 5,750 gallons that day.

To Find :

the stores profit or loss in comparison to the amount the store would had made without the special offer.

Solution :

Since, store is selling gasoline for lower amount than regular so they will be in loss.

Loss =$ 0.25 × 5750

Loss = $1437.5

Therefore, loss of store in comparison to the amount the store would had made without the special offer is $1437.5 .

Hence, this is the required solution.
