Problema Solution

You have $50 on hand and need to buy gas. How many gallons of gas can you buy for 3.98 a gallon?

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'x' be the number of gallons you can buy with $50 where x is integer thus


x*3.98 <= 50 divide both sides by 3.98


x <= 12.5628


since x is integer the biggest integer smaller then 12.5628 is 12


With $50 you can buy 12 gallons of gas.
