The gas tank of Tyrell's truck holds 19.8 gallons. when the tank is empty Tyrell fills it with gas that cost $3.65 per gallon. about how much will it cost to fill the tank?
This is pretty simple. Since there are 19.8 gallons and every gallon is 3.65$, you multiply 19.8 by 3.65 to get $72.27. It will cost 72.27$ to fill up the tank.
72.27 :) is the answer because you multiply the amount of gas it need to fill the tank (19.8) by the cost of each gallon (3.65) so you multiply 19.8 x 3.65, which equals 72.27 which is how much will he need to pay.
