Question

Demarco paid $3.19 per gallon both times that he stopped for gas on a weekend trip. He bought 12.53 gallons of gas the first time and 11.86 gallons the second time. Which expression shows the total cost in dollars of the gas he bought on this trip?

3.19(12.53 + 11.86)

Answer 2

You didn't include the options, so whichever one looks like x=(12.53+11.86)3.19 or something similar. You need to add the amount of gallons he bought, then multiply them by the cost per gallon, which will most likely be set equal to a variable.
