Answer: It would cost $47.3 to fill the same tank in 2010

Explanation:

In 1970

Total cost to fill the tank = $6

Cost per capacity of tank = $0.36

Capacity of tank = Total cost / Cost per capacity of tank

Capacity = 6/0.36

Capacity = 16.6

Therefore

In 2010

Cost per capacity of tank = $2.84

And we now know it capacity = 16.6

Total cost to fill the tank = 2.84 * 16.6

Total cost = $47.3

Hope this helps have a awesome day ❤️✨
