Question

mrs. haines paid $43.94 for 12.7 gallons of gas. She used some credit card points to get 52 cents off per gallon. What is the original price of the gas per gallon?

Answer 1

Answer:

$3.979

Step-by-step explanation:

1 cent =0.01 dollar

52 cents = $52 \times 0.01= 0.52 dollars$

There is an off of 0.52 dollars in 1 gallon

So, off of amount in 12.7 gallons = $12.7 \times 0.52 =6.604$

Mrs. haines paid $43.94 for 12.7 gallons of gas after off

So, actual cost = $43.94+$6.604 = $50.544

So, actual cost of 12.7 gallons of gas = $50.544

Actual cost of 1 gallon of gas = $\frac{50.544}{12.7}=3.979$

Hence the original price of the gas per gallon is $3.979
