The proportional relationships between the cost and the number of gallons of gasoline for Store A and Store B are displayed in the graph and table. Which store has the better buy for a gallon of gasoline? Enter 1 for Store A. Enter 2 for Store B.

Answer 1

To determine which store has a better buy for a gallon of gasoline, you would need to compare the price per gallon for both Store A and Store B based on the information provided in the graph and table.

If you have the specific prices or ratios from those sources, please provide that information. If not, generally speaking, look for the store that has a lower price per gallon to identify the better buy.

Once you have the prices, you can decide:

• If the price per gallon at Store A is less than at Store B, enter 1 for Store A.
• If the price per gallon at Store B is less than at Store A, enter 2 for Store B.

If you share the data or values from the graph and table, I can help you analyze them further!

Answer 2

Store B
Cost of Gasoline per Gallon
Gallons ($) Cost
5 18.75
10 37.50
15 56.25

Answer 3

To calculate the cost per gallon of gasoline for Store B, we can use the provided data:

1. For 5 gallons: \[ \text{Cost per gallon} = \frac{18.75}{5} = 3.75 \]

2. For 10 gallons: \[ \text{Cost per gallon} = \frac{37.50}{10} = 3.75 \]

3. For 15 gallons: \[ \text{Cost per gallon} = \frac{56.25}{15} = 3.75 \]

The cost per gallon for Store B is consistently $3.75.

Now, if you provide the cost per gallon for Store A, I can help you compare the two stores to determine which offers the better buy. Please provide the relevant data for Store A!
