    456 Gallons

    Explanation:

    The Optimal order quantity can be found using the following formula:

    Economic Order Quantity = Sqrt (2 * Annual Demand * Ordering cost per order / Holding cost per unit per year)

    EOQ = SquareRoot (2 * 50000 Gallons * $150 per order / 0.48 Holding costs)

    Economic Order Quantity = 456 Gallons
