The correct answer is 1460
<span>At a corner gas station, the revenue R varies directly with the number g of gallons of gasoline sold. If the revenue is $44.50 when the number of gallons sold is 10, find a linear equation that relates revenue R to the number g of gallons of gasoline. Then find the revenue R when the number of gallons of gasoline sold is 15.5.
Solution:
As the question mentioned the direct relationship between the quantities, hence
10 gallons of gasoline sold = $44.50
15.5 gallons of gasoline sold = $x
by cross multiplication, we get that
10x = 15.5 * 44.50
which implies that
x = 68.975
Thus by $</span>68.975 revenue is obtained by selling 15.5 gallons of gasoline.
For this case, the first thing to do is to graph the following ordered pairs:
(-6, -1)
(-3, 2)
(-1,4)
(2,7)
We observe that the graph is a linear function with the following equation:
y = x + 5
Note: see attached image.
Answer:
The function that best represents the ordered pairs is:
y = x + 5
