Answer:
[tex]2.25g\leq 20[/tex]
[tex]g\leq 8.888[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Please consider the attached file for gasoline prices.
Let g represent number of premium gasoline gallons.
Since each gallon of premium gasoline costs $2.25. so cost of g gallons would be [tex]2.25g[/tex].
We have been given that Marco has $20 in his wallet. To find the gallons of premium gas Marco can buy, we need to write an inequality where cost of g gallons should be less than or equal to $20 as:
[tex]2.25g\leq 20[/tex]
Therefore, our required inequality would be [tex]2.25g\leq 20[/tex].
Now, we will divide both sides by 2.25 as:
[tex]\frac{2.25g}{2.25}\leq \frac{20}{2.25}[/tex]
[tex]g\leq 8.888[/tex]
Therefore, Marco can buy 8.88 gallons or less gallons of premium gasoline.
