The cost is $
(Simplify your answer. Round to the nearest cent as needed.)

Answer 1

$31.96

Explanation:

To find how many gallons you need, divide 320 by 34.

`(320)/(34) =9.4 (rounded-to-the-nearest-cent)`

So now that we know we need 9.4 gallons, we multiply 9.4 times the price per gallon ($3.40)

9.4 x $3.40 = $31.96
