Question 72903: At the Speedy Gas and Go, a car wash costs $3.00, and gasoline is selling for $2.50 a gallon. Holly Lam has $17.25 to spend, and she must have her car washed. What is the maximum number of gallons of gasoline she can purchase? Answer by jim_thompson5910(21685) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Subtract $3 from 17.25 This is how much money she has left over
Now divide this by the price of gas since the number of gallons*price=total So she can get as much as 5.7 gallons of gas
