Amount of fuel in the tank before the story begins . . . . . zero.
Total amount poured in . . . . . 3/4 gallon.
Total amount burned:
on Friday . . . . . 1/4 gallon
on Sunday . . . . 1/4 gallon
Total used . . 1/2 gallon .
Amount remaining in the tank on Monday:
(3/4 gallon in) - (1/2 gallon burned) = 1/4 gallon left.
==> NOT empty
The tank would have been empty on Monday IF Becky
had poured in only 1/2 gallon, instead of 3/4 of a gallon
before the first flakes began to fly.
23.45 × .08 = 1.88
23.45 × .2 = 4.69
23.45 + 1.88 + 4.69 = 30.02
The total price would be $30.02.
<span>The product of any whole number factor multiplied by 100 will always have two zeros on the end, or a zero as the digit in both the tens and units column. For example, 1 x 100 is 100, 46 x 100 is 4600 and 7258 x 100 is 725,800.</span>
