The amount of money spent at a gas station varies directly with the number of gallons purchased. When 15.5 gallons of gas was purchased , the cost was $48.67. What is the cost for 9 gallons of gas?

Respuesta :

The cost for 9 gallons will be $4.3903

Answer:

$28.26

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find out how much each gallon of gas cost, you need to divide the $48.67 by the 15.5 gallons. This would equal 3.14 So the cost for one gallon is $3.14

Then you would need to multiply this number by the 9 gallons to get the price. Which would equal $28.26
