Answer 1

To find out how much it will cost Mary to fill up her SUV, we first need to determine how much gas she needs:

Total capacity of the SUV = 20 gallons
Gas currently in the SUV = 5.7 gallons
Gas needed to fill up = 20 gallons - 5.7 gallons = 14.3 gallons

Next, we will calculate the cost to fill up the remaining 14.3 gallons at the price of $3.20 per gallon:

Cost = gallons needed × price per gallon
Cost = 14.3 gallons × $3.20/gallon = $45.76

Therefore, it will cost her $45.76 to fill up her SUV.
