cents per liter, so you divide the total cost by the total amount of gas bought. 48.3L / 37.43 = $0.77 (rounded from 0.77474120082), so it costs 77 cents per liter.
You can check this answer by multiplying 0.77 by 48.3L, and you will get something close to 37.43 (37.19). It's not exact as we had to round to the nearest cent.
