Answer
$g=6$
Work Step by Step
We start with the given equation: $1.12+1.25g=8.62$
We multiply the whole equation by $100$: $100(1.12+1.25g=8.62)$
We apply the distributive property to multiply each term by $100$: $112+125g=862$
We subtract $112$ from each side of the equation: $125g+112-112=862-112$
We combine the like terms on each side of the equation: $125g=750$
Finally, we divide by $125$ on each side of the equation: $g=\frac{750}{125}=6$
