Question

A shopper's discount club charges a monthly fee of $15 and sells gasoline for $2.05 per gallon. The gas station across the street sells gasoline for $2.35 per gallon and chargers no fee. How many gallons of gasoline would you have to buy in one month to spend the same amount at either store?

Answer 1

Ok so $2.05 + $15 = $17.05 so you want to try to spend the same amount of money in each store so what have to do is figure out the number of gallons you buy in each store i added 2 gallons for the first store so the amount would be $2.05(2) + $15= $21.15 so now to find the x in the next equation you have divide the sum by $2.35 which give you 9 gallons now you spent the same amount in each store so you paid for 11 gallons hope you give me brainliest answer lol
