170

Step-by-step explanation:

168.9 is between 160 and 170 ← both to 2 significant figures.

However 168.9 is nearer to 170 than 160, hence

168.9 ≈ 170 ( to 2 significant figures )

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
