Andrea's gas tank was completely empty. Andrea has just spent $33.51 on 5 gallons of gas. How much more would she spend to completely fill her

tank, which holds 17 gallons? Remember, she has already added 5 gallons and spent $33.51. We only need to know much much MORE she needs to
spend to fill the tank.

Answer:

$80.42

Explanation:

to find the unit rate i did 33.51 divided by 5 and got 6.702

6.702 per gallon

17 x 6.702 = 113.934

113.934 rounded to the nearest hundreth is 133.93

113.934 - 33.51 = 80.424

80.424 rounded to the nearest hundreth is 80.42

so she spent $80.42 more to fill the tank

Hoped that helped:P
