A family on a trip budgets $1,000 for meals and gasoline. If the price of a meal for the family is $50 and if gasoline costs $3.50 per gallon, then how many meals can the family buy if they buy 100 gallons of gasoline?

Respuesta :

Answer:

They can buy 13meals if they buy 100 gallons of gasoline.

Step-by-step explanation:

3.50 PER gallon so 1 gallon is $3.50

if they buy 100 gallons you have to multiply 3.50 by 100 which gives you 350. you subtract 350 from 1000 so 1000-350 and get 650. now, you divide 650 by 50 because each meal is $50. And you get 13 so there you have it.
