Question

You are applying for a fuel tax rebate. The amount of fuel road tax is 32 cents per gallon. If the refund is 50 % of this amount, what is the refund for 8,000 gallons of fuel?

Answer 1

Answer: $1,280

Explanation:

The refund one a gallon is 50% of the cost of the gallon which is $0.32.

The refund on a gallon is:

= $0.16

If it was for 8,000 gallons the refund would be:

= 8,000 * 0.16

= $1,280
