Answer:
Cory bought 6.474 gallons of gasolline.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total cost of gasoline ([tex]C[/tex]), measured in dollars, is given by the following expression:
[tex]C = n\cdot c[/tex]
Where:
[tex]n[/tex] - Amount of gasoline, measured in gallons.
[tex]c[/tex] - Unit cost, measured in dollars per gallon.
Given that [tex]C = \$\,18[/tex] and [tex]c = \$\,2.78\,\frac{1}{gal}[/tex], the amount of gasoline is cleared and calculated:
[tex]n = \frac{C}{c}[/tex]
[tex]n = \frac{\$\,18}{\$\,2.78\,\frac{1}{gal} }[/tex]
[tex]n = 6.474\,gal[/tex]
Cory bought 6.474 gallons of gasolline.
