Marco needs to buy premium gasoline for his car. he has $20 in his wallet . write and solve an inequality to determine how many many gallons of gas marco can buy
Answer:
\(2.25g\leq 20\)
\(g\leq 8.888\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Please consider the attached file for gasoline prices.
Let g represent number of premium gasoline gallons.
Since each gallon of premium gasoline costs $2.25. so cost of g gallons would be @@MATH_TOKEN_2@@.
We have been given that Marco has $20 in his wallet. To find the gallons of premium gas Marco can buy, we need to write an inequality where cost of g gallons should be less than or equal to $20 as:
\(2.25g\leq 20\)
Therefore, our required inequality would be \(2.25g\leq 20\).
Now, we will divide both sides by 2.25 as:
\(\frac{2.25g}{2.25}\leq \frac{20}{2.25}\)
\(g\leq 8.888\)
Therefore, Marco can buy 8.88 gallons or less gallons of premium gasoline.
