In the same period, the cost of a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline rose from 55 cents to $1.82. If the gallon of gas had increased in price at the same rate as chemistry and physics journals over this period it would have reached $12.43 in 2005, and would be over $14.50 today” (Lewis). 2. The average price for Chemistry journals in 2013 was $4,296 (Bogart & Turock). 3. .55/x = 76.84/4,296.00 4. x = 30.75 5. If “the gallon of gas had increased in price at the same rate as chemistry … journals” from 1975 to 2013, today’s gas prices would be over $30.75 per gallon.en-USAttribution 4.0 Internationalopen accessgasolinereallyImage
