Answer 2

Answer:

Gerald bought $\frac{12.60}{x}$ gallons of gas.    

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to answer this question we have to make the following assumptions:

Let the cost of gas be x dollars per gallon.

Total money paid by Gerald = $12.60

Mount of gas bought =

Formula:

$\text{Amount of gas bought} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Cost per unit}}$

$\text{Amount of gas bought} = \displaystyle\frac{12.60}{x}$

Thus, Gerald bought $\frac{12.60}{x}$ gallons of gas.

The amount totally depends on the unit cost of gas. For different rate different amount of gas could be bought in $12.60.
