is means equals
sum means to add
product means to multiple
quotient means to divide

this is a division because it is asking for cost per gallon and they give you both the total gallons purchased and the total cost
28.49 divided by 7.5 = 3.798 or 3.80 rounded
You get better at word problems the more you do, just practice
