To find how much each person will get, you have to divide the amount available by the people. There are 2 ways I believe we can do this.
First way
Let's divide.
2÷9= 2/9
Each person would get 2/9 of a gallon if they shared it.
≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
Second way
I believe it would be easier to convert this into cups. There are 16 cups per gallon.
16×2= 32
Let's divide that by 9.
32÷9= 3 5/9 cups per person.

Each person would receive 2/9 of a gallon.
Here is the answer to your question as This is the way I think it is solved
7.50 x 0.30= $2.25
7.50- 2.25= $5.25
The candy will be worth $5.25 after adding the discount.
