    We need 15 liters

    2 gallon jug 4.28*2=8.56 1 gallon=3.78, 2 gallons=7.57 liters

    3 gallon jug 5.92*3=17.76 3 gallons=11.35 liters

    4 gallon jug 6.56*4=26.24 4 gallons=15.14 liters

    the best solution is to buy 2 times the 2 gallon jug because he will spent

    8.56*2=17.12 for 4 gallons (aprox 15 liters)

    instead of the 4 gallon jug which costs 26.24

    7 gallon this is more expensive and he does not that much solution
