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

Verified Answer :

(price of premium gasoline)g \(\leq\) $20

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.
