    Cost per Gallon

    regular unleaded gasoline: $1.34

    Premium unleaded gasoline: 1.54

    Step-by-step explanation:

    let the price of

    regular unleaded gasoline = x

    regular unleaded gasoline = x+0.2

    According to given condition

    15x + 10 (x+0.2) = 35.5

    15x + 10x + 2 = 35.5

    25x = 35.5 - 2

    25x = 33.5

    x = 33.5/25

    x = 1.34

    So

    regular unleaded gasoline = x = 1.34

    regular unleaded gasoline = x+0.2 = 1.34+0.2 = 1.54

    Check

    15x + 10 (x+0.2) = 35.5

    15*1.34 + 10*1.54 = 35.5

    20.1+15.4 = 35.5

    35.5 = 35.5
