Answer:

We suppose that a is the old price in cents

the total cost of 9.20 $ equals 920 cents

so we have 20 liters bought with the old price (a) and 10 liters with the new price (a + 2). This is translated into this equation where a is the old price therefore our quest to be answered

20 xa + 10 x (a + 2) = 920 (cents)

20 xa + 10 xa + 20 = 920

30 xa + 20 = 920

30 xa = 920 - 20

30 xa = 900

a = 900: 30

a = 30 (cents)

therefore the old price for 1 liter of petrol is 30 cents

(hope this helps can i plz have brainlist :D hehe)

This list shows the age at which 43 U.S. Presidents began their terms.

The best intervals would be 41-45, 46-50, 51-55, 56-60, 61-65, and 69-70.

The best way to decide the appropriate interval would be to find the range of the numbers.

We have given a data set,

<h3>What is the smallest value in the data?</h3>

The minimum is the smallest value in the data set. The maximum is the largest value in the data set.

<h3>What is the largest minus the smallest? </h3>

This would be 69-42=27.

If you need six intervals you would need to round 27 up to 30 to be able to divide it out evenly and include all of the data.

The best intervals would be 41-45, 46-50, 51-55, 56-60, 61-65, and 69-70.

This way you are one over and one under the highest and lowest values.

Therefore, The best intervals would be 41-45, 46-50, 51-55, 56-60, 61-65, and 69-70.
