Answer 2

*Missing Information: Total number of barrels are 60 million*

The correct answer is: Option (C) $20

Step-by-step explanation:

As we are interested in finding the cost for a barrel of gasoline, we need to read the percentage of gasoline from the pie-chart first—which is 34%.

Now number of barrels containing gasoline = 34% of 60 million barrels =
`(34)/(100) * 60 = 20.4` million barrels

For all the barrels, the total income is $408 million; therefore, in order to find the per-barrel cost, we need to divide $408 by 20.4:

`(408)/(20.4) = \$20`

Hence the correct answer is $20 (Option C).
