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.

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

Respuesta :

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

[tex]$\$ 24.00=\$ 6.50+\$ 2.78 \mathrm{~g}$[/tex]

[tex]$\$ 2.78 \mathrm{~g}=\$ 24.00-\$ 6.50$[/tex]

[tex]$\$ 2.78 \mathrm{~g}=\$ 17.50$[/tex]

[tex]$g=\frac{\$ 17.50}{\$ 2.78}$[/tex]

[tex]$g=6.30$[/tex]
