Answer:

The second deal is better. It is $2.042 per gallon

Explanation:

$11/5 and 51.05/25 are the deals.

Let's multiply the first deal by 5/5.

That is $55 per 25 gallons and the other deal is $51.05 per 25 gallons.

So the second deal is better.

Now lets divide 51.05 by 25 to find out how much dollars per gallon

51.05 / 25 = 2.042, so it is $2.042 per gallon.
