Final answer:

Muhammad's truck needs 37.5 gallons of gas to fill up the tank at a price of $3.19 per gallon, resulting in an approximate total cost of $119.63.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is Mathematics, and it appears to be at a Middle School level. The question asks us to calculate the cost for Muhammad to fill up his truck's gas tank completely.

Muhammad's truck has a 50 gallon gas tank, and it is currently ¼ full. To find out how much gas he needs to fill the tank completely, first we calculate ¼ of 50 gallons, which is the amount already in the tank:

  • ¼ of 50 gallons = ¼ × 50 = 12.5 gallons

Next, we subtract this from the total tank capacity to find out how many gallons he needs to purchase:

  • 50 gallons - 12.5 gallons = 37.5 gallons needed

Gas costs $3.19 per gallon, so we multiply the price per gallon by the number of gallons needed to fill the tank:

  • $3.19 per gallon × 37.5 gallons = $119.625

Thus, the approximate cost for Muhammad to completely fill his gas tank is $119.63 (rounded to the nearest cent).
