Question

The amount of money spent at the gas station varies directly with the number of gallons purchased. When

11.5 gallons of gas were purchased the cost was $37.72. How much would 8 gallons of gas cost?

Answer 1

$26.24

Explanation:

11.5 * k = 37.72

So, k = 37.72 / 11.5

Similarly , 8 * k = x

8 * 37.72 /11.5 = x

x = $26.24
