Let d be the number of dollars you spent on gas and let g be the number of gallons you purchased. Which expression represents the price you paid per gallon?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The expression represents the price you paid per gallon is:

  • Price paid per gallon = [tex]\frac{d}{g}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To identify the expression is right, I'll show you with an example: suppose that you paid $56 buying 7 gallons of gas, now you can replace those values in the expression I gave you:

  • Price paid per gallon = [tex]\frac{d}{g}[/tex]
  • Price paid per gallon = [tex]\frac{56}{7}[/tex]
  • Price paid per gallon = 8

And you can check this value by multiplying the price paid by the gallon and the number of gallons, which you obtain the number of dollars you spent:

  • Number of dollars (d) = 8 * $7 = $56
