<u><em>- About the book -</em></u>
<em> Elizabeth's life is an organized mess. The organized part is all due to her own efforts. The mess is entirely due to her sister, Saoirse, whose personal problems leave Elizabeth scrambling to pick up the pieces. One of these pieces is Saoirse's six-year-old son, Luke. Luke is quiet and contemplative, until the arrival of a new friend, Ivan, turns him into an outgoing, lively kid. And Elizabeth's life is about to change in wonderful ways she has only dreamed of.</em>

Explanation:
Answer:
3$
Explanation:
For the first vendor, the pickles cost $5 per quart and since there are 4 quarts in a gallon, 5$ x 4 quarts= $20 per gallon.
For the second vendor, the pickles cost 19$ per gallon.
You want to buy 3 gallons of pickles. If you were to buy from the first vendor, then it would be 20$ x 3 gallons= 60$
The second vendor would be 19$ x 3 gallons= 57$
60$ - 57$= 3$ which is what you save in total
