) A gas station owner finds that for every penny increase in the price of gasoline, she sells 1516 fewer gallons of gas per week. How much more or less gas will she sell if she raises the price by 10 cents per gallon? If she decreases the price by 2 cents per gallon?

a) 15160 gallons

b) 3032 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that for every penny increase in the price of gasoline there is a decrease of 1516 gallons sold per week

a) when she raises the price by 10 cents per gallon

There will be a decrease of ( 1516 * 10 ) gallons sold per week i.e. = 15160 gallons

b) when she decrease the price by 2 cents per gallon

There will be an increase ( 2 * 1516 ) gallons sold per week  i.e. = 3032 gallons

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
