At a corner gas station, the revenue R varies directly with the number g of gallons of gasoline sold. If the revenue is $26.00 when the number of gallons sold is 8, find a linear equation that relates revenue R to the number g of gallons of gasoline. Then find the revenue R when the number of gallons of gasoline sold is 13.5.
