Stan's lawn mower had ⅛ of a gallon of gasoline in the tank. Stand started mowing and used all of the gasoline. He put 6/10 of a gallon of gasoline in the tank. After he mowed, ¼ of a gallon was left in the tank. What was the total amount of gasoline Stan used? *

Stan used 19/40 of a gallon of gasoline.

Step-by-step explanation:

At first, Stan's lawn mower had 1/8 of a gallon of gasoline in the tank. When it got finished, he put 6/10 of a gallon of gasoline in the tank. It means that the number of gallons of gasoline that he has already put in the tank is

1/8 + 6/10 = 29/40 of a gallon.

After he mowed, 1/4 of a gallon was left in the tank. Therefore, the total amount of gasoline Stan used is

29/40 - 1/4 = 19/40 of a gallon

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
