Question

Randy can buy 6 gallons of gas for $18 or 7 gallons of gas for $21. how much do you think he would pay for 8 gallons of gas?

a.$22
b.$23
c.$24
d.$25

Answer 1

c.$24

Explanation:

to find how much it would cost for 1 gallon, the easiest way to do that is subtract 21 from 18.

21 - 18 = 3

So, it's 3 dollars per gallon. Now that we know that we multiply it by 8 to find how much it would cost.

8 x 3 = 24

Eight gallons of gas would cost 24$ :3

Answer 2

18/6 = 3 dollars per gallon

8 x 3 = 24

8 gallons would cost $24

answer is C
