Mobil allocates 557(1/2) gallons in the fourth week, how close is Jerry to selling his allocation? l 214(3/8) gallons. If Jerry sells 305(1/4) gallons; and third week, 300(1/4) gallons; second week, 1,792(3.4) gallons of gas per month to Jerry's Service Station. The first week, Jerry sold

Explanation / Answer

Total allocation = 1792 (3/4) gallons=(1792*4 +3)/4= 1,792.75 gallons

1st week sales = 300(1/4) gallons = (300*4 +1)/4 = 300.25 gallons

2nd week sales = 305(1/4) gallons = (305*4 +1)/4 = 305.25 gallons

3rd week sales = 214(3/8) gallons = (214*8+3)/8 = 214.38 gallons

4th week sales = 557(1/2) gallons = (557*2 +1)/8 = 557.50 gallons

Total sales= 300.25+ 305.25 + 214.38 + 557.5 = 1,377.38 gallons

Closeness to selling hi allocation = Toatal alocation - Total sales =1792.75- 1377.38 = 415.37 gallons
