We will see that the cost of filling the tank is $38.88, and at the final of the trip she will have 4 gallons on the tank.
<h3>How much costs to fill the tank?</h3>
a) The car holds 18 gallons, and it has 1/5 of the tank remaining.
Then in the tank there are:
(1/5)*18 = 3.6 gallons.
Then we need 18 gal - 3.6 gal = 14.4 gal
And each gallon costs $2.70, then to fill the tank, Miss Kito needs:
(14.4)*$2.70 = $38.88
