3. A horizontal cylindrical fuel oil storage tank 2.4 m dia. X 5 m long is gauged at 825.5 after the
temperature of the contents had attained ground temperature, i.e., 7.2 °C. This oil is purchased
for $ 3.31 per bbl at 15.6 °C/ 15.6 °C. The delivery is billed at $ 380.50. Is this correct to the
nearest dollar?
