tax money to build 1 mile of highway. The state gasoline tax is $1.20 a gallon. How many gallons of gasoline must be sold to pro-

Respuesta :

Answer:

625,000 gallons

Step-by-step explanation

You know that it cost $750,000 of gas tax money to build 1 mile of highway.

Since they are getting $1.20 for each gallon of gas sold, you would only have to divide the two numbers to find out how many gallons need to be sold.

750,000 ÷  1.2  =  625,000 gallons
