Question

if it cost $6 to fill a gas tank in 1970 for $0.36, how much would it have cost to fill the same tank in 2010 for $2.84​

Answer 1

7.8889 I think so so I divided 2.84%39=7.8889

Answer 2

Answer:

It would cost $47.3 to fill the same tank in 2010

Step by step explanations:

In 1970

Total cost to fill the tank = $6

Cost per capacity of tank = $0.36

Capacity of tank = Total cost / Cost per capacity of tank

Capacity = 6/0.36

Capacity = 16.6

Therefore

In 2010

Cost per capacity of tank = $2.84

And we now know it capacity = 16.6

Total cost to fill the tank = 2.84 * 16.6

Total cost = $47.3
