Taylor French · Answer 1

First, you want to find out how many pints are in a gallon, which are 8.

So, 8 x. 55 = 4.40

Muriel would save $0.45 by buying 1 gallon instead of multiple pints.

Tobias Wilkins · Answer 2

There are 8 pints in a gallon, so 0.55 X 8 is 4.40, so 4.40 - 3.95 equals 0.45. He saves $0.45
