Topic: I'm tired of always having to guesstimate the costs of gas.

Anonymous A started this discussion 1 day ago #125,273

So, I figured, why not learn a mathematical formula that would tell me an exact approximation of funds I need to provide for certain intervals of my gas tank.

Does anyone know if any mathematical formulas that:
A) Can calculate the cost, represented as a variable to cover changes in price, and apply that to the number of gallons needed to fill a car tank, also represented as a variable to accommodate gas tank sizes.
B) Easier to understand for anyone with their highest math level being Algebra I & II, also Trig.
C) Can be inputted on a single line in a calculator for easy calculations.

?

Please and thank you.
