Answer: the old price for 1 liter is $0.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the old price for 1 liter of petrol.
Last week a man bought 20 liters at the old price. This means that the total amount that the man paid for 20 liters is 20x.
The cost of petrol rises by 2 cents a liter. This means that the new price per liter is x + 2/100 = x + 0.02
This week he bought 10 liters at the new price. This means that the total amount that the man paid for 10 liters is
10(x + 0.02)
= 10x + 0.2
Altogether, the petrol costs $9.20. This means that
20x + 10x + 0.2 = 9.2
30x + 0.2 = 9.2
30x = 9.2 - 0.2
30x = 9
x = 9/30
x = 0.3
