If gasoline costs 98.5 cents per liter in Canada, what is the price in dollars per gallon?

1 liter = 0.26417 gallons

Answer :

The price in dollars per gallon is $3.728 per gallon.

To calculate the price of gasoline in dollars per gallon when we know the price per liter, we follow these steps:

  1. First, convert the price from cents to dollars: 98.5 cents is $0.985.
  2. Then, since we know 1 liter = 0.26417 gallons, divide $0.985 (the price per liter) by 0.26417 to find the price per gallon.
  3. Perform the calculation: $0.985 \/ 0.26417 = $3.728 per gallon.

Therefore, if gasoline costs 98.5 cents per liter in Canada, the price in dollars per gallon is approximately $3.728.
