The price of gasoline at a service station increased from $1.65 per gallon last week to $1.82 per gallon this week. Sally paid $26.40 for gasoline last week at the station. How much more will Sally pay this week at the station for the same amount of gasoline?

A. $1.70B. $2.55C. $2.64D. $2.72E. $2.90

D. $2.72

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of gasoline at a service station increased from $1.65 per gallon last week to $1.82 per gallon this week.

We need to find the percentage increase in the price of gasoline.

$1.82 - $1.65 = $0.17

=>  = 10.3%

There was a 10.3% increase in the price of gasoline.

Sally paid $26.40 for gasoline last week at the station. To find increase in the corresponding amount that Sally paid last week, we multiply $26.40 dollars by 10.3%:

= $2.72

Sally will pay $2.72 more for the same amount of gasoline.

-362

step-by-step explanation:

(12)(4)+2(12)-34(12)+2(12)-3

  \/         \/         \/         \/

  48 +   24 -   408 + 24 - 3

      \   /               \   /

          72     -     432 - 3 = -363
