The extra amount that Tim is expected to pay is approximately given by: Option D: $57.88
You can represent the unknown amounts by the use of variables. Follow whatever the description is and convert it one by one mathematically. For example if it is asked to increase some item by 4 , then you can add 4 in that item to increase it by 4. If something is for example, doubled, then you can multiply that thing by 2 and so on methods can be used to convert description to mathematical expressions.
For this case, the question is missing the fact that the size of the tank is 11.75 gallon and a gallon of gas costs $4.50.
So, the total cost of 11.75 gallon of gas is:
Cost of 11.75 gallon gas = 11.75 * 4.50 = 52.875 (in dollars)
Also from the question, the cost of refueling a vehicle is $5.00.
So, the total cost for refueling the car of Tim is:
Total cost = cost of gas + cost of refueling the car
Total cost = 52.875 + 5.00
Total cost = $57.875 ≈ $57.88
Thus, the extra amount that Tim is expected to pay is approximately given by: Option D; $57.88
