When she sets the price at $2.25 per gallon, she can sell approximately 1250 gallons per day. Let G(x) denote the number of gallons of unleaded gasoline sold per day when the price is x dollars. Assume that G(x) is a linear function of x. Approximately how many gallons will be sold per day if the price is set at $2.34 per gallon?
