Question

Marco needs to buy premium gasoline for his car. he has $20 in his wallet . write and solve an inequality to determine how many many gallons of gas marco can buy

Answer 1

Answer:

$2.25g\leq 20$

$g\leq 8.888$

Step-by-step explanation:

Please consider the attached file for gasoline prices.

Let g represent number of premium gasoline gallons.

Since each gallon of premium gasoline costs $2.25. so cost of g gallons would be $2.25g$.

We have been given that Marco has $20 in his wallet. To find the gallons of premium gas Marco can buy, we need to write an inequality where cost of g gallons should be less than or equal to $20 as:

$2.25g\leq 20$

Therefore, our required inequality would be $2.25g\leq 20$.

Now, we will divide both sides by 2.25 as:

$\frac{2.25g}{2.25}\leq \frac{20}{2.25}$

$g\leq 8.888$

Therefore, Marco can buy 8.88 gallons or less gallons of premium gasoline.

Answer 2

(price of premium gasoline)g $\leq$ $20
