Answer:

The author used an understatement.

Explanation:

When Reyna says she is having a little car trouble, the literary device is an "understatement". An understatement means she is not telling things the way they really are. She is softening their state, sugarcoating the reality. Another example of an understatement would be a person who has lost all their money telling a friend they don't have enough money to go out for dinner.

naima took a trip in November.she paid 2.75 a gallon for the gas she used on the trip.she filled the tank four times.the amount
olganol [36]
It would be 17.862 gallons.  Assuming that each gas station offers the same price for gas, you can divide each total by 2.75 (the cost) giving you the gallons for each one (round to the nearest Thousandth Ex. 7.3337--->7.334), you can then add them together to get the total      
         
                                                             G=the total gallons of gas bought 
Equation:  (12.073/2.75)+(12.695/2.75)+(11.913/2.75)+(12.442/2.75)=G
                 (4.390)+(4.616)+(4.332)+(4.524)=G
                 17.862 gallons=G
