A store sells gas and containers. One customer buys 2 containers and 8 gallons of gas for $38.06. Another customer

buys 1 container and 3 gallons of gas for $15.76.

Enter the price ,in dollars, of 1 container

$5.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Let containers = c ;Gallon of gas = g

2c + 8g = 38.06 - - - (1)

c + 3g = 15.76 - - - - (2)

From (2) :

c = 15.76 - 3g

2(15.76 - 3g) + 8g = 38.06

31.52 - 6g + 8g = 38.06

2g = 6.54

g = 6.54 / 2

g = 3.27

Recall :

c = 15.76 - 3g

c = 15.76 - 3(3.27)

c = 5.95

whole numbers.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the average monthly rainfall (in millimeters) model r(m) for the years 1900-2009 as a function of the month number m.

as we can see m is taken for the number of months for years 1900-2009.

we know that number of months can't be a negative number or decimal number or a fraction.

so, the number of months could be only positive whole numbers.

therefore, whole numbers is more appropriate for the domain of r.
