As per the statement: Mrs. Hwang is taking her vehicle to the shop to have the gas tank expanded by 10 gallons. Now, it costs her $42.56 to fill the tank. Once the new tank is in, it will cost her $72.96
Let the tank size now be x
Since, the gas tank expanded by 10 gallons = x + 10
by definition of proportion ;
by cross multiply we get;
using distributive property;
Subtract 42.56x from both sides we get;
Divide both sides by 30.4 we get;
x = 14
Therefore, the tank is her now is, 14 gallons
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
We know million has 6 zeros.
So, 1 million would be written as:
1,000,000
Similarly, 27 million would be written as:
27,000,000
We know writing a number in scientific notation would make this a decimal in 1 decimal place, so we would select "2.7" as the base of the scientific number.
Now, how many places to the right do we need to go (in 2.7) to make it 27,000,000?
Counting, we see: 7 places
So, power of 10 would be "7", thus we can write:
Answer choice A is right
