Answer 1

Answer:

The cost to completely fill the gasoline tank is 2632.5 cent .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

A car's gasoline tank will hold up to 11.7 gallons of gasoline.

The price of gasoline per gallon is $2.25.

i.e

1 gallons = $2.25

Cost to completely fill the gasoline tank =  price of gasoline per gallon × Car tank capacity

Putting the value.

Cost to completely fill the gasoline tank =  2.25 × 11.7

                                                                   = $26.325

As 1 dollar = 100 cent

Now convert  $26.325 into cent.

$26.325 = 26.325 × 100

               = 2632.5 cent

Therefore the cost to completely fill the gasoline tank is 2632.5 cent .
