Question

At the local gas station gasoline costs $2.75 for per gallon and diesel costs $3.02 per gallon. Gabriel needs to purchase 15.2 gallons of gasoline for his truck, and 9.5 gallons of diesel fuel for his tractor.

Answer 1

The total amount paid by Gabriel at the local gas station is $70.49.

Explanation:

Cost of gasoline per gallon = $2.75

Cost of diesel per gallon = $3.02

Amount of gasoline Gabriel needs = 15.2 gallons

Amount of diesel Gabriel needs = 9.5 gallons

Compute the total amount paid by Gabriel at the local gas station as follows:

Total Cost = Cost of gasoline × Amount of gasoline

+ Cost of diesel × Amount of diesel

`=(2.75* 15.2)+(3.02* 9.5)\\\\=41.8+28.69\\\\=70.49`

Thus, the total amount paid by Gabriel at the local gas station is $70.49.
