To solve the problem:

1. Gasoline costs $3.59 per gallon when paying with a credit card.
2. There is a $0.04 discount per gallon if you pay with cash.
3. The gas tank is 14 gallons.

First, calculate the savings per gallon by paying with cash:
\[
\text{Savings per gallon} = 0.04
\]

Then, calculate the total savings for filling up 14 gallons:
\[
\text{Total savings} = 14 \, \text{gallons} \times 0.04 \, \text{\$/gallon} = 0.56 \, \text{\$}
\]

So, you save **$0.56** by paying with cash.

4. If the cash discount increased to $0.06 per gallon, how much would you save on a 14-gallon tank?
5. What is the percentage discount per gallon when paying with cash?

**Tip:** Always check for price differences or discounts when making payments, as small savings can accumulate over time!

If gasoline costs $3.59 per gallon when you pay with a credit card, but $0.04 per gallon less if you pay with cash, how much do you save by filling up a 14-gallon tank and paying for it with cash?

Learn how to calculate how much you can save on gasoline by paying with cash instead of a credit card. This problem involves multiplying a per-gallon discount by the number of gallons, saving you $0.56 on a 14-gallon tank. Suitable for Grades 6-8.
