So
a 22 gallon of gas tank can hold 129.8 pounds of gasoline.

What is the weight of 1 gallon of gasoline:

=> 129.8 divided by 22 to get the value of 1 gallon weight

=> 129.8 / 22 = 5.9

Thus, each gallon of gasoline weigh 5.9 pounds.

Now, let’ find the cost of every gallon if the total costs of 22 gallon is
91.30 dollars

=> 91.30 dollars divided by 22 to get the answer

=> 91.30 / 22 = 4.15

So every gallon costs 4.15 dollars.
