Hello :)
Please help me solve this

Explain answer

A. Store A will cost about $1.28 less

Step-by-step explanation:

Store A:

Unit rate = y/x

Using any given pair, say (3, 7.26),

Unit rate = 7.26/3 = $2.42 per gallon

So, of a customer is buying 16 gallons at Store A, he'd pay:

$2.42 * 16 = $38.72

Store B:

Unit rate = y/x

Using any point on the graph, say (20, 50),

Unit rate = 50/20 = $2.5 per gallon

So, of a customer is buying 16 gallons at Store B, he'd pay:

$2.5 * 16 = $40.

Cost of Store B - Cost of Store A = $40 - $38.72 = 1.28

This means that Store A cost about $1.28 less

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
