The correct answer is: Option (C) $20

Explanation:

As we are interested in finding the cost for a barrel of gasoline, we need to read the percentage of gasoline from the pie-chart first—which is 34%.

Now number of barrels containing gasoline = 34% of 60 million barrels = @@MATH_TOKEN_0@@ million barrels

For all the barrels, the total income is $408 million; therefore, in order to find the per-barrel cost, we need to divide $408 by 20.4:
