- Joy and John MacAllister have agreed to purchase a house for $79,900. First National Savings & Loan is willing to lend the money at 7.5 percent for
25 years, provided the MacAllisters can make a $19,900 down payment. The
total closing cost is 3.5 percent of the amount of the mortgage. What is their
total closing cost?

Step-by-step explanation‎:

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
