Answer

The price of gas per gallon = $3.60

Step-by-step explanation

If it costs $46.80 to fill a 13 gallon gas tank.

We are asked to find the price of gas per gallon.

Let the price of 1 gallon of gas be x.

13 gallons = $46.8

1 gallon = x dollars

We can write a mathematical relationship by cross multiplying

13 × x = 1 × 46.8

13x = 46.8

Divide both sides by 13

(13x/13) = (46.8/13)

x = 3.6 dollars

Hope this Helps!!!
