Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cost in 1965 was $4.16 for a tank of gas. Given the price of gasoline in 1965 was 31.2 cents per gallon, we can calculate the number of gallons filled by dividing the total cost by the price per gallon: $4.16 / $0.312 = 13.333 gallons. To find the cost in 1975, multiply the number of gallons by the 1975 price per gallon: 13.333 gallons * $0.567 = $7.56.
