Answer:

$218.70

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to first convert the percentage to the decimal.

20% = 0.2

Now, you need to find 20% of each bill by multiplying each bill by 0.2.

0.2(185.45) + 0.2(205.20) + 0.2(195.05) + 0.2(245.80) + 0.2(262.00)

Because of the distributive property, you can add up the bills and multiply the sum by 0.2.

0.2(185.45 + 205.20 + 195.05 + 245.80 + 262.00)

0.2(1093.50)

218.7

An oil company fills 1 over 12 of a tank in 1 over 3 hour. At this rate, which expression can be used to determine how long will

Leto [7]

Don't let fractions fool you.

$\frac{1}{12}$ of a tank in $\frac{1}{3}$ an hour is equal to:
1/12 of a tank in 20 minutes.

Thus we know in an hour, an oil company can fill 3/12 of a tank (60 minutes in an hour).

3 x 4 = 12, and 12/12 = 1(a whole tank), so we multiply 1 (hour) by 4.

Our answer is that it takes 4 hours to fill a tank.
