Question

Marco paid $36.89 for 8.6 gallons of gas.  What is the price per gallon?

Answer 1

4.289534884 or it is about 4.3 dollars

Explanation:

Because it cannot be divided into an actual real number like 2 or 5, so you must either round it or keep the whole thing. (depends what the question wants you to do).

Answer 2

36.89 total divided by the 8.6 gallons he bought = 4.2 so the price per gallon would be $4.20
