Answer:

$11.10 per gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 quarts in a gallon so the cost of a gallon of oil currently is 1.85×4=$7.40

If the gallon price of oil goes up 50% then our answer is: 7.40× $\frac{3}{2}$ = $\frac{22.2}{2}$ =11.1

The price of oil in March will be $11.10 per gallon.
