Answer:
Tom got the best buy per gallon of gas as he paid $2.75 for each gallon.
Adrianna paid more and got less savings per gallon as she paid $3.00 for each gallon.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Adrianna paid $36.00 for 12 gallons of gas.
Price per gallon = [tex]\frac{Total\ price}{total\ gallons\ bought}[/tex]
Price per gallon = [tex]\frac{36.00}{12}=\$3.00[/tex]
Jason paid $56.00 for 20 gallons of gas.
Price per gallon = [tex]\frac{56.00}{20}[/tex]
Price per gallon = $2.80
Tom paid $49.50 for 18 gallons of gas.
Price per gallon = [tex]\frac{49.50}{18}[/tex]
Price per gallon = $2.75
We will compare the prices of per gallon gas.
Hence,
Tom got the best buy per gallon of gas as he paid $2.75 for each gallon.
Adrianna paid more and got less savings per gallon as she paid $3.00 for each gallon.
