It costs Jodi $44.88 to buy 12 gallons of gas. What was the cost per 1 gallon of gas?

Question

She travels to her grandmothers house

 

Answer 1

Set this up as a proportion:

 

$44.88 → 12 gallons

x         →   1 gallon

 

Cross multiply to find x.

 

x = (44.88)(1)/12 dollars = $3.74 for 1 gallon
