Answer Explanation:
As in given data, 80.64 total paid including Tax 12%
So, Cost of fuel without tax: 80.64 - 8.64= 72
1. In Given Statement 1, total gallons is 24. So per gallon price= 72/24= 3 Dollars (without Tax), Tax is 12%, So total cost is = 3* 1.12= 3.36
So Sufficient.
2. So, in this statement, it has given 0.36$ per gallon. As in given data, we know 8.64 $ is total Tax paid.
8.64/0.36 = 24 Gallons.
Cost Per Price gallon,= 72/24 =3
Inlcuded tax= 3 +0.36 = 3.36
So Sufficient.
