You rented a car while on vacation and gas costs $0.52 per liter. If you use 65% of the car's 22 gallon tank, how much will it cost you to refill the car before dropping it off?
1 US gallon = 3.78541 liters
Therefore
22 gallons=83.2791 liters
65% of the car's 83.2791 = 54.13 liters
gas costs $0.52 per liter
Cost of refilling= 0.52*54.13 = $28.15
it will cost you approximately $28.15 to refill the car.
