You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = number of gallons.
\n" ); document.write( "19 cents = .19 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "18.4 cents = .184 dollars.
\n" ); document.write( "37.4 cents = .374 dollars.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "multiply x by .374 and you get the cost of the tax in dollars and cents.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "for example, when x = 20, tax = .374 * 20 = 7.48 = 7 dollars and 48 cents.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so your formula is tax dollars = .374 * x, where x is the number of gallons you bought.\r
