The bar graph shows changes in price of regular gasoline from 1996–2010.

For example, at the end of 1996, the price per gallon for regular gasoline was

$0.15 more than the price per gallon at the end of 1995, the price at the end

of 1997 was $0.12 less than the price at the end of 1996, and so on.


1. Find the average change in the price of regular gasoline for the given years.

a. 1996–2002 b. 2003–2010 c. 1996–2010

2. The price per gallon for regular gasoline at the end of 1995 was $1.08. In what

year was the price per gallon for regular gasoline the lowest? What was the

price? Explain how you found your answer.

3. How many times greater is the price per gallon in 2010 than the price per

Answer:

The answer is 5 times

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to read the change in price in 2000 and 2007, from the graph.

So, the change in price in 2000 was $0.14 and in 2007 it was $0.71.

Now, we do the same thing we always do when comparing two values - we divide them. So:

0.71 / 0.14 = 5.07

Of course, we could multiply these values with 100, in order to avoid decimal numbers. Then we would get:

71 / 14 = 5.07

We could also divide this in the form of fractions:

71/100 / 14/100 = 5.07

There are several ways we could divide rational numbers, but the result will always be the same.

Change in price in 2007 was around 5 times greater than the change in 2000.

I hope this helps!!;-)
