Martin Smith · Answer 1

You must find the unit cost in dollars per gallon for each purchase by dividing the cost by the number of gallons.

Graven: $55.20 for 15 gallons

$55.20 / (15 gal) = $3.68/gal

Project: $72.80 for 20 gallons

$72.80 / (20 gal) = $3.64/gal

Answer: Project paid less per gallon.
