To have a whole number of cents, you would need to buy a number of gallons that results in a whole number when multiplied by 100 (to convert to cents).
Since 1 gallon is equal to 128 fluid ounces, and 1 fluid ounce is equal to 0.0078125 gallons, we can use this conversion factor to determine the smallest number of gallons to buy.
So, dividing 1 by 0.0078125, we find that you would need to buy at least 128 gallons to have a whole number of cents.
What is the smallest number of gallons you would need to buy to have a whole number of cents?
