Answer 1

To the nearest cent, one gallon of gasoline cost $2.25

To find out how much one gallon of gasoline cost, we need to divide the total cost by the number of gallons.

We can use the following formula:

Price per gallon = Total cost / Number of gallons

Price per gallon = 27 / 12

Price per gallon = 2.25

We can see that one gallon of gasoline cost $2.25 to the nearest cent.
