Answer:

The cost for one liter of gas in may 2014 is $1.05

Step-by-step explanation:

0.88 × 0.20 = 0.176

0.88 + 0.176 = 1.05

Answer:

$1.1

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \frac{100}{price \: before \: \: decrease \: (x)} \: = \frac{100 - 20}{0.88} [/tex]

[tex] \frac{100}{x} = \frac{80}{0.88} [/tex]

Cross multiply

80x = 88

X = 88/80

X = 1.1
