Given the statement:

Ryan spent $26.33 on 8 gallons of gas

Determine how much would he spend for 20 gallons.

Solution:

In order to determine how much would he spend for 20 gallons, we need first to know the price per gallon. This can be solved by dividing 26.33 by 8.

= $26.33 / 8 

= $3.3 

Now that we know the price of one gallon, we simply need to multiply it by 20.

= ($3.3)(20)

= $66

Final answer:

= $66
