A gas tank contains 5.3 gallons.the capacity of the tank is 12.5 gallons. how much will it cost to fill the tank at $1.30 per gallon

Sagot :

so first find out how many gallons you need to buy: 12.5-5.3=7.2  so then you will need 7.2 more gallons so they tank will be full so now you have to multiply 7.2x$1.30=9.36 so it will cost $9.36 to finish filling the tank

Answer:

$9.36 will be required to fill the tank.

Step-by-step explanation:

Capacity of the gas tank = 12.5 gallons

Gas tank contains gas = 5.3 gallons

Empty space  in the tank that can be filled = 12.5 - 5.3

                                                                      = 7.2 gallons

Since cost to fill the tank is = $1.3 per gallon

Therefore, amount needed to fill 7.2 gallons of gas = $1.3 × 7.2

= $9.36

$9.36 will be required to fill the tank.
