A line graph shows gasoline in gallons on the x-axis and cost in dollars on the y-axis. The x-axis ranges from 0 to 16 in increments of 2. The y-axis ranges from 0 to 40 in increments of 5. A line starts at the origin and passes through plotted point X at left parenthesis 9.375 comma 30 right parenthesis.

To determine how many gallons of gasoline Trisha can purchase with $30, we refer to the point \( X (9.375, 30) \) on the graph. This point indicates that when the cost is $30, Trisha can buy approximately 9.375 gallons of gasoline.
Since we are asked to state the number of gallons to the nearest whole number, we round 9.375 to the nearest whole number, which is 9.
Thus, Trisha can purchase approximately 9 gallons of gasoline.
