Answer:

Cost =$3

Amount = 8 gallons and 17 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

24 + 51

Required

Simplify to show the cost and amount of gas bought by each individual

24 + 51

[Factorize]

3(8 + 17)

The above can't be factored any further.

Since the cost of gas for both individuals is the same, we can conclude the following.

Cost = $3

This is so because it applies to both numbers in brackets

Amount of Gas = 8 gallons and 17 gallons respectively by both individuals
