To determine which store has the cheaper cost of gasoline per gallon, you would need to compare the values indicated in the graphs for both Store A and Store B.

From your responses, if we assume the cost of gasoline at:

  • Store A is $0.25 per gallon, $100 per gallon, or $5 per gallon.
  • Store B is $3.50 per gallon.

Based on typical prices for gasoline, if Store A is $0.25 per gallon, that would clearly be the cheaper price compared to $3.50 at Store B.

If Store A is $5, that is more expensive than Store B at $3.50.

If Store A is $100, that is also significantly more expensive.

It seems you have included some varying prices. However, the key takeaway is if Store A is $0.25 per gallon, then Store A has the cheaper gasoline.

If the certain price at Store A is not meant to be taken literally or reflects an unrealistic price, then it would depend on the context of the given prices, but typically, a lower price indicates a cheaper cost per gallon.

Thus, the best response here would depend on the specific figures shown in the graph, but assuming as mentioned previously:

Store A has the cheaper gasoline. The cost of gasoline is $0.25 per gallon.
