We assume the petrol tank was full at the beginning of the journey.

The petrol tank holds x litres.

x - 1/3 x - 2/5 x = 8

15x/15 - 5x/15 - 6x/15 = 8

4x/15 = 8

4x = 120

x = 30

The petrol tank holds 30 litres.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the cost of one portion of the potato gnocchi, we have to simply find the cost of 2 ounces of tomato sauce.

That is:

Cost = 2 * 0.37 = $0.74

Hence, one portion of potato gnocchi costs $0.74

Since $1 = 100 cents, the cost in cents will be:

0.74 * 100 = 74 cents
