To find the price per pint of the laundry detergent, we first need to convert gallons to pints.
1 gallon is equivalent to 8 pints. Therefore, a 3-gallon container equals:
\[
3 \text{ gallons} \times 8 \text{ pints/gallon} = 24 \text{ pints}
\]
Next, we determine the price per pint by dividing the total cost of the container by the number of pints:
\[
\text{Price per pint} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of pints}} = \frac{41.76}{24}
\]
Calculating the division:
\[
\text{Price per pint} = \frac{41.76}{24} \approx 1.74
\]
Thus, the price per pint is approximately:
\[
\boxed{1.74}
\]
