If the gas price the day before was $3.49, what is the approximate price of gas today?

To find the gas price today, we need to calculate the 23% increase on the price from the day before.

First, find 23% of $3.49: $3.49 * 0.23 = $0.8027

Then add this amount to the original price: $3.49 + $0.8027 ≈ $4.29

So the approximate price of gas today is $4.29.
