Question

Which equation corresponds to the following word problem?
Cory spends $6.50 on snacks at a gas station. He also buys gas, which costs $2.78 per gallon. If he spends a total of $24.00 at the gas station, how many
gallons of gas did he buy? Let g equal the number of gallons of gas.
(1 point)
O 6.509 +2.78 = 24.00
O 2.789 -6.50 = 24.00
O 6.50g - 2.78 = 24.00
2.789 +6.50 = 24.00

Answer 1

Answer:

Cory bought 6.30 gallons of gas at the gas station.

Step-by-step explanation:

total amount = cost of snacks + amount spent on gas

$\ 24.00=\ 6.50+\ 2.78 \mathrm{~g}$

$\ 2.78 \mathrm{~g}=\ 24.00-\ 6.50$

$\ 2.78 \mathrm{~g}=\ 17.50$

$g=\frac{\ 17.50}{\ 2.78}$

$g=6.30$
