Step-by-step explanation:
the slope is the number multiplying the x value, or t in this case.
G = gallons d = days
10g = 3d
?g = 1d
1g = ?d
-------------
for gallons in a day, divide 10g = 3d by 3
d = 10/3 gallons
3 and 1/3 gallons in a day
---------------
for days per gallon, divide 10g = 3d by 10
g = 3/10 days
1 gallon lasts 3/10 of a day
You are trying to solve what percent of the difference between $26.60 and $18 is of $24.60, so:
$24.60 - $18 = $6.60
24.60x = $6.60
x = 6.60/24.60
x = 0.2683
So the percent increase is 26.83%
