The driver fueled his car before departing from Jeffreys Bay. His tank's capacity is 28litres. Calculate how much he will pay for fuel if he fills up the tank to half of its capacity, and the price of fuel was R17,98 per litre.​

Respuesta :

The cost of fueling half the capacity of his tank is R251.72

Data;

  • Volume of tank = 28L
  • Half the capacity = 28/2 = 14L
  • Price per liter = R17.98/L

The cost of fuel

To calculate the cost of filling his tank half the capacity, we need to divide find 1/2 the volume of his tank and calculate the cost of filling it.

Half the capacity of his tank = full capacity / 2

[tex]x = 28/2 = 14L[/tex]

Half the capacity of his tank = 14L

1L = R17.98

14L = x

cross multiply and solve for x

[tex]1L=R17.98\\14L = x\\x = 14*17.98\\x = 251.72[/tex]

The cost of fueling half the capacity of his tank is R251.72
