Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
At Greg's Gas Station premium gasoline costs $0.14 more per gallon than regular gasoline .
Let the cost of regular gasoline be $x per gallon, then the cost of premium gasoline per gallon will be x + 0.14
If Mr. Adams spent $36.25 on 12.5 gallons of regular gasoline, it means that 12.5x = 36.25
x = 36.25/12.5 = $2.9
The cost of regular gasoline is $2.9 per gallon
Therefore, cost of premium gasoline per gallon will be 2.9+ 0.14 = 3.04
if he bought 12.5 gallons of premium gasoline instead, he would have paid
12.5× 3.04 = $38
The amount that he would have spent more will be
38 - 36.25 = $1.75
