Answer: its $46.27

Step-by-step explanation: divide 14.46/5 and get 2.892, multiply 2.892 by 16 to get $46.272, round it up to the nearest cent and get $46.27.

Answer 2

If you figure out the base rate of the gas by dividing the cost by the gallon, you would find out that it is 2.892, which rounds to 2.89. Multiply that by 16 and you have your answer at 46.24.
