The cost to completely fill the gasoline tank is 2632.5 cent.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

A car's gasoline tank will hold up to 11.7 gallons of gasoline.

The price of gasoline per gallon is $2.25.

i. e

1 gallons = $2.25

Cost to completely fill the gasoline tank = price of gasoline per gallon * Car tank capacity

Putting the value.

Cost to completely fill the gasoline tank = 2.25 * 11.7

= $26.325

As 1 dollar = 100 cent

Now convert $26.325 into cent.

$26.325 = 26.325 * 100

= 2632.5 cent

Therefore the cost to completely fill the gasoline tank is 2632.5 cent.
