Answer:

The answer is about $2.75 per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, you take the 34.40 the divide it by the 12.5 and that gives you 2.752, which simplifies to 2.75. If you want to check your work, take the 2.75 and multiply it by the 12.5 and that gives you 34.375 which rounds to 34.40

Hope this helps :)
