You purchase 15.75 gallons of gasoline at $2.39/ gallon. You gave the clerk $30.00. How much do you still owe? (1 point) Responses $7.64 $7.64 $37.64 $37.64 $1.34 $1.34 $2.92

Answer 1

To find out how much you owe after purchasing the gasoline, you first need to calculate the total cost of the gasoline.

Total cost of gasoline = Price per gallon × Number of gallons
Total cost = $2.39 × 15.75

Now calculate that:

Total cost = $2.39 × 15.75 = $37.57 (approximately)

Now, subtract the amount you paid ($30.00) from the total cost:

Amount owed = Total cost - Amount paid
Amount owed = $37.57 - $30.00 = $7.57

Since this amount does not match any of the provided options exactly, but from the computation, there is a slight rounding difference. So the closest option would be:

$7.64 (though this is slightly off from the calculation, it seems to be rounding up)

Therefore, the best response is $7.64.
