Answer 1

18.04 gallons

Explanation:

The cost of filling the empty tank of the vehicle is $71.98.

If each gallon of gas costs $3.99, then we have to find the volume of the sedan's tank in gallons.

Now, $3.99 is the cost of 1 gallon of gas.

Hence, $71.98 will be the cost of
`(71.98)/(3.99) = 18.04` gallons.

Therefore, the volume of the tank is 18.04 gallons. (Answer)
