To calculate the cost to fill up your gas tank, we'll need the price per gallon of gas. Since you mentioned a "rounded price of gas from the previous question" but didn't provide that price, let's assume you have it as a value.
For the sake of this calculation, let’s use an assumed price of $3.38 per gallon (feel free to replace this with the actual price you have).
- Capacity of the gas tank: 14.25 gallons
- Price per gallon: $3.38 (use the price you have)
Now let's calculate the total cost to fill up the tank:
\[ \text{Total cost} = \text{Capacity} \times \text{Price per gallon} \] \[ \text{Total cost} = 14.25 , \text{gallons} \times 3.38 , \text{dollars/gallon} \] \[ \text{Total cost} = 48.045 , \text{dollars} \]
Rounding this to the nearest cent gives you:
\[ \text{Total cost} \approx 48.05 , \text{dollars} \]
If you provide the actual rounded price, I can give you the exact cost based on that. Otherwise, using the price per gallon ($3.38) I've used, it doesn't look like it exactly matches any of the options you gave. Please check the price and I can help you calculate accordingly.
