Answer:

$11.83

Explanation:

1 gallon = 3.785 litres

0.5(1/2gallon) = x liters

x = 0.5 × 3.785 liters

x = 1.89271 liters

0.8 liter = 100 pesos

1.89271 liters = x pesos

x = 1.89271 × 100/0.8

x = 236.58875 pesos

Converting to dollars

1 mexican peso = $0.050

236.58875 pesos = x

x = 236.58875 × $0.050

x = $11.8294375

Approximately = $11.83

A half gallon jug of the same wine cost in dollars $11.83
