"18" was the percentage price of gas reduced.

Given:

Summer price,

  • $3.50

Winter price,

  • $2.87

Reduction of the price will be:

  • $0.63

Now,

The percentage will be:

= [tex](\frac{0.63}{3.50}\times 100 )[/tex]

= [tex]9\times 2[/tex]

= [tex]18[/tex] (%)

Thus the above answer is correct.
