Question

Hugo is pumping regular gas into his truck. Write and solve an absolute value equation to represent how many gallons of gas will be pumped when the total is​ $25 plus or minus​ $0.50.

Answer 1

Answer:

9.8 < x < 10.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total amount = $25

Error = ±5

Let gallon of gas pumped = g

Price of regular gas = $2.50

Gallon of gas to be pumped = total amount / price per gallon

Gallon of gas = $25 / $2.50 = 10 gallons

Error = $0.5 / $2.5 = 0.2

(10 - 0.2) < x < (10 +. 0.2)

9.8 < x < 10.2
