The total amount Mr Page paid for the oil he bought in February was $21,580.

Since Mr Page uses oil to heat his home, and at the beginning of November there were 1000 liters of oil in his oil tank, and Mr Page bought enough oil to fill the tank completely, and he has paid $50 per liter for this oil, and he has paid a total amount of $750, while at the end of February Mr Page had 600 liters of oil in the tank, and he has bought enough oil to fill the tank completely, and the cost of oil had increased by 4%, to determine the total amount Mr Page paid for the oil he bought in February, the following calculation must be performed:

  • 1000 + (750 / 50) = X
  • 1000 + 15 = X
  • 1015 = X
  • 1015 - 600 = 415
  • 415 x (50 x 1.04) = X
  • 415 x 52 = X
  • 21,580 = X

Therefore, the total amount Mr Page paid for the oil he bought in February was $21,580.
