In this formula, J= Cost of driving Jenna’s car in $/mile and g= Cost of gas in $/gallon.
J=g%2F22%2B0.146
Find the cost of driving Jenna’s car (J) when the price of gas is $3.23%2Fgallon.
Round to the nearest cent.
J=3.23%2F22%2B0.146
J=0.1468181818181818%2B0.146
J=0.29

I found this answer to be+0.29 cents per mile.=> correct
Find the cost of gas (g) when the cost of driving Jenna’s car is exactly $0.26/mile.
0.26=g%2F22%2B0.146
0.26-0.146=g%2F22
0.114=g%2F22
g=0.114%2A22
g=2.508
g=2.51
