Answer:

335.43 million gallons

Explanation:

price elasticity of demand (PED) = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price

PED = -1.9% / 10% = -0.19, very inelastic

expected price increase $0.40

% change in price = ($3.45 - $3.05) / $3.05 = 13.11%

% change in quantity demanded:

-0.19 = D / 13.11%

D = 2.49%

quantity demanded will decrease by 2.49%, from 344 million gallons to 335.43 million gallons
