David taylor purchased a teapot for $23.95, a coffee maker for $33.95, and a deluxe microwave for $196.75 for his mother’s birthday. the state tax is 6.5% and the city tax is 1.5%. what is the total purchase price?

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
