Explanation Given Information: The cost of a gallon of gasoline is $ 1.80 and is marked up 20 % . The highest excise tax rate is $ 0.445 per gallon and the federal excise tax is $ 0.184 per gallon. Formula used: Excise tax is a tax or duty levied on the sale or importation of goods for the purpose of raising revenue or discouraging a particular behavior. Gasoline cost plus markup = gasoline cost + markup rate × gasoline cost Total price = gasoline cost plus markup + state excise tax + federal excise tax Calculation: Consider the provided information. The cost of a gallon of gasoline is $ 1.80 and is marked up 20 % . So, $ 2.16 Consider the primary equation Gasoline cost plus markup = gasoline cost + markup rate × gasoline cost Substitute the provided values in the above equation Gasoline cost plus markup = $ 1.80 + 20 % ( $ 1.80 ) = $ 1.80 + 0.20 ( $ 1.80 ) = $ 1
