Answer: He paid for 8.4 gallons.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Average price for a gallon of regular gas = $1.50

Amount paid for a tank of gas = $12.60

So, Number of gallons would be

$\frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Average price}}\\\\\\=(12.60)/(1.50)\\\\\\=8.4\ gallons$

Hence, He paid for 8.4 gallons.
