Berto has $12 to put gas in his car. If gas costs $3.75 per gallon, which ordered pair on the graph of the line relating number of gallons of gas, x, to the total cost of the gas, y, includes the greatest amount of gas Berto can buy?

Respuesta :

The amount of gas Berto can buy with $12 = 12/3.75 = 3.2 gallons.

Therefore the required ordered pair is (3.2, 12)
If gas costs $3.75 per gallon and Berto has $12, then he can purchase 12/3.75 gallons. This is approximately 3.2 gallons. So the coordinate on this line would be (3.2, 12). I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.
