Nina paid 37.57 for 13 gallons of gas Fred paid 55.67 for 19 gallons of gas Eleanor paid 48.62 for 17 gallons of gas Who got the best buy?

Answer 1

The easiest way to figure out this problem is to use division (price/amount) N=Nina F=Fred E=Eleanor

N 37.57/13=2.89 per gallon

F 55.67/19=2.93

E 48.62/17=2.86

So here we see that E has paid the lowest price per gallon and therefore has received the best deal on Gas.
