$29.54
$3.50
$7.15
$0.65

Explanation:

Step1: Find the cost difference per gallon

The rental company charges $3.50 per gallon and Tori paid $2.85 per gallon. The difference per gallon is $3.50 - $2.85 = $0.65.

Step2: Calculate total savings

She used 11 gallons. So total savings is the cost difference per gallon times the number of gallons, which is $0.65 × 11 = $7.15.

Answer:

$7.15
