Problema Solution

E-Z Stop Fast Gas sold $10,957 worth of gasoline yesterday. Regular grade sold for $2.30 a gallon and premium grade sold for $2.55 a gallon. If the station sold 420 more gallons of regular than of premium, how many gallons of regular were sold?

Answer provided by our tutors

Suppose, Premium Gallon Sold = X

So, X*2.55 + (X+420)*2.30 =10957

Or, 2.55x + 2.30X +966 =10957

Or, 4.85X = 9991

or, X = 2060 Gallon

 

So, Regualr gallon Sold = (2060+420) =2480 Gallon
