To find the unit price in dollars per gallon, you can divide the total cost by the number of gallons.
The total cost is $17.82 and the number of gallons is 4.5.
\[
\text{Unit price} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of gallons}} = \frac{17.82}{4.5}
\]
Calculating that:
\[
\text{Unit price} = \frac{17.82}{4.5} \approx 3.96
\]
So, the unit price is approximately $3.96 per gallon.
When rounding to the nearest cent, the unit price is **$3.96**.
