Question

On Juan's road trip, he spent $15.50 for 12.5 gallons of gas. How much money did he pay

per gallon?

Answer 1

So, Juan paid $1.24 per gallon of gas.

Explanation:

To find how much money Juan paid per gallon of gas, we need to divide the total amount he spent by the number of gallons he purchased.

Juan spent $15.50 for 12.5 gallons of gas.

Therefore, the cost per gallon can be calculated as:

Cost per gallon = Total amount spent / Number of gallons

Cost per gallon = $15.50 / 12.5 gallons

Cost per gallon = $1.24/gallon

So, Juan paid $1.24 per gallon of gas.
