Answer:

<u>The percentage loss per gallon is 23.17%</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price per gallon = $ 2.59

Discounted price per gallon = $ 1.99

Now, let's calculate the percentage loss per gallon, using the Direct Rule of Three, as follows:

Price      Percentage

2.59           100

1.99               x

*****************************

2.59 * x = 1.99 * 100

2.59x = 199

x = 199/2.59

x = 76.83

Percentage loss = 100 - 76.83

<u>Percentage loss = 23.17%</u>
