Answer 1

Answer: $70.49

Explanation:

Cost of gasoline = $2.75 per gallon

Cost of diesel fuel = $3.02 per gallon.

Since Gabriel needs to purchase 15.2 gallons of gasoline for his truck, the amount spent on gasoline will be:

= 15.2 × $2.75

= $41.80

Since he needs to spend 9.5 gallons of diesel fuel for his tractor, the amount spent on diesel fuel will be:

= 9.5 × $3.02

= $28.69

Total cost spent will be:

= $41.80 + $28.69

= $70.49
