It's a kite or a rhombus.
Answer:
7.5 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The Thomas family went for a Sunday drive.
Before they left, Mr. Thomas noticed the gas tank was ¾ full.
When they returned home the gas tank was ⅓ full.
Total capacity of the gas tank = 18 gallons
<u>Question asked:</u>
How many gallons of gas did the car use on the drive?
<u>Solu</u>tion:
Before they left, quantity of gas in the tank = 
When they returned, quantity of gas in the tank = 
Quantity of gas used on the drive = 13.5 - 6 = 7.5 gallons
Therefore, 7.5 gallons of gas used on the drive by Thomas family.

Step-by-step explanation:
C) (0.85 + x/100)(250+145) does not give the correct answer.
Explanation
A) works; adding the two costs together is 250+145=395. We multiply this by 0.85 because 100%-15%=85%=0.85. We also have x% tax, which is represented by x/100, added to 100% of the value, or 1.00. Altogether this gives us
395(0.85)(1+x/100) = 395(0.85 + (0.85x/100)) = 395(0.85) + 395(0.85x/100)
= 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x)
B) works; we have 250+145 for the original price; we have 85% = 0.85 of the value; we also have 100% + x%, which is (100+x)/100.
C) does not work; (0.85+x/100)(395) does not take into consideration that you are finding the tax after taking the 85%. This will simplify out to
0.85*395 + (x/100)(395) = 335.75 + 395x/100 = 335.75 + 3.95x, which is too much.
D) works; simplifying the expression from A, we have 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x) = 335.75 + 3.3575x.
