Answer:

Part a) The budget is $40

Part b) The cost of one gallon of gasoline is $3.55 and the cost of the car wash is $8

Part c) x \leq 9.01\ gal

Part d) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question in the attached figure

Part a) What is your budget?  

The budget is given by the equation

y=40

therefore

The budget is $40

Part b)  How much does a gallon of gasoline cost? how much does a car wash cost?

Let

y ------> the cost of a gallon of gasoline plus the cost of a car wash

x -----> the amount of gasoline in gallons

we have

y=3.55x+8

In this problem

For x=0

y=3.55(0)+8=8

The y-intercept is the cost of the car wash

so

The cost of the car wash is $8

Find the cost of one gallon of gasoline

we know that

The slope of the linear equation is

m=$3.55 per gallon

therefore

The cost of one gallon of gasoline is $3.55

Part c) Write an inequality that represent the possible amounts of gasoline you can buy

we have

3.55x+8 \leq 40

Solve for x

3.55x \leq 40-8

3.55x \leq 32

x \leq 9.01\ gal

Part d) Use the graph to estimate the solution of the inequality in part c)

we have the system

y=40

y=3.55x+8

The solution of the system is the intersection point both graphs

Looking at the graph the intersection point is about (9,40)

That means ----> The maximum amount of gasoline you can buy with the budget is about 9 gallons

alexandr1967 [171]
Let the cost of the shirt be y and the price by the which the shirt is sold is 2y. This means that at 15% discount, the shirt is sold at 1.7 of its original cost.
