Question

Gas station A has posted a chart that shows the price of gasoline in terms of the number of gallons.

Gallons Price
3 9.15
5 15.25
7 21.35

Gas station B has an equation that represents the price, p, for gallons, g, of gasoline as p = $3.08g.

Which gas station sells gasoline at a lower rate? What price does it charge?

Answer 1

Answer:The prices at gas station A are :

3 gallons at $9.15

5 gallons at $15.25

So, per gallon costs =  or

At gas station B , the equation is p = $3.08g this means the price (p) is 3.08 per gallon and 3.08g (g is number of gallons) represents the total price of the number of gallons purchased.

Hence, Gas station A sells gasoline at a lower price of $3.05 per gallon.

Answer 2

Gas station 'A' sells gasoline at a lower rate at $3.05/gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

∵  At Gas station 'A' price of 3 gallons of gasoline = $9.15

∴ The price of 1 gallon of gasoline = $\frac{9.15}{3}$

                                                         = $3.05

At Gas station 'B' the given equation = p = $3.08g

p = price

g = gallons of gasoline

∴ The price of 1 gallon of gasoline = $3.08

So we can see $3.05 < $3.08

Hence Gas station 'A' sells gasoline at a lower rate at $3.05/gallon.
