Answer:

The price of one gallon is $2.90

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to calculate the price of one gallon could be calculated by multiplying the 8 gallons and the price of one gallon of gasoline (p), this is:

[tex]8 gallons * p = 23.20[/tex]

So clearing the value of p, we have:

[tex]\frac{23.20}{8 gallons}=2.90=p[/tex]

Finally, the price of one gallon is $2.90
