Answer:
$3.979
Step-by-step explanation:
1 cent =0.01 dollar
52 cents = [tex]52 \times 0.01= 0.52 dollars[/tex]
There is an off of 0.52 dollars in 1 gallon
So, off of amount in 12.7 gallons = [tex]12.7 \times 0.52 =6.604[/tex]
Mrs. haines paid $43.94 for 12.7 gallons of gas after off
So, actual cost = $43.94+$6.604 = $50.544
So, actual cost of 12.7 gallons of gas = $50.544
Actual cost of 1 gallon of gas = [tex]\frac{50.544}{12.7}=3.979[/tex]
Hence the original price of the gas per gallon is $3.979
