Here is the answer on an excel spreadsheet. It is really a simple matter of subtraction.
Gasoline price per gallon 3.049 $3.0490
. Federal excise tax per gallon 0.184 -$0.1840
. State excise tax per gallon 0.180 -$0.1800
. State sales tax rate 0.0725 -$0.0725
Price per gallon $2.6125
You can work =out each subtraction individually to arrive at the answer. First subtract the Fed tax from the price. The subtract the State excise tax from the remainder from the first subtraction. Then subtract the sales taxform the remainder of the second subtraction.
Remember you are going out 4 places to the right of the decimal point so all of your figures have to have 4 places to the right even if the arent there to begin with, just ad a zero to make up the missing digit.
