First, subtract the cost of the bottle of water from the total amount Charles has:
$53 - $3 = $50
Next, divide the remaining amount by the cost of gas per gallon:
$50 / $5 = 10 gallons
Charles can get 10 gallons of gas.
Charles went to the gas station with $53. Gas cost $5 per gallon, and he bought a bottle of water for $3. How many gallons of gas can Charles get?
