To find the approximate price of gas today, we need to calculate the 17% of yesterday's gas price and then add it to yesterday's price.
17% of $3.29 can be calculated as (17/100) * 3.29 = 0.5583 rounded to the nearest cent.
So the price increase is approximately $0.56.
The approximate gas price today is thus $3.29 + $0.56 = $3.85.
The answer is A: $3.85.
