To find the amount of perfume in each container, we need to divide the total amount of perfume (10.5 gallons) by the number of containers (3.5 x 10^2).

10.5 gallons ÷ (3.5 x 10^2) containers = (10.5 ÷ 3.5) gallons ÷ (10^2) containers

(10.5 ÷ 3.5) gallons = 3 gallons

Therefore, there will be 3 gallons of perfume in each container.

The answer is not provided in scientific notation, but it would be 3 x 10^0 since 3 can be expressed as 3 x 10^0.
