Question

If 4 gal of premium unleaded gasoline costs $15.04, how much would it cost to completely fill a tank whose capacity is 9-gal?

Answer 1

Answer:

$33.84 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

4 gallons = 15.04
1 gallon = ?

How much for 9 gallons?

To find the answer we have to find how much one-gallon costs since we already know how much it costs for 4 gallons of this unleaded gasoline.

$15.04\div4$
$15.04\div4=3.76$
$=3.76$

One gallon of this gasoline costs $3.76 now we need to find how much it costs for 9 gallons.

$3.76\times9=33.84$
$=33.84$

For nine gallons of gasoline it will cost you "$33.84 cents."

Hope this helps.
