Answer:

  D.  1200 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Fractions of the total are given, as is the quantity the difference of those fractions represents. These can be used to write an equation to find the total.

Setup

Let g represent the total number of gallons of fuel sold. Then the number of gallons of 87-octane sold is 0.50g, and the number of gallons of 89-octane sold is 0.35g. The difference is said to be 180 gallons:

  0.50g -0.35g = 180

Solution

Collecting terms gives ...

  0.15g = 180

Dividing by the coefficient of g, we find ...

  g = 180/0.15 = 1200

The gas station sold 1200 gallons of fuel last weekend.
