Question 412961: A gas station sells 4820 gallons of regular enleaded gasoline on a day when they charge $1.35 per gallon, whereas they sell 3883 gallons on a day that they charge $1.40 per gallon. Find a linear function that expresses gallons sold a function of price. Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let = gallons sold per day
Let = price of gas on that day
Multiply both sides by
This function seems to work for the points given:
(1.35,4820) and (1.4,3883)
------------------
interesting point: If they give the gas away (p = 0)
they will sell 30119 gallons
