Certainly! When we see a price with a dollar sign, such as $3.39910, it indicates the currency used for the cost. In this case, the currency is dollars.
However, when we write the price strictly as a decimal, we remove the dollar sign because decimals represent fractional parts of a whole number. In this case, the numerical value of the price is 3.39910, which means a gallon costs 3.39910 dollars.

Apologies for the incorrect response in my previous message.
To determine the cost of a gallon strictly as a decimal, we need to remove the currency symbol. Therefore, the cost of a gallon would be written as 3.39910.
However, please note that this is not a common way to represent prices, as it includes excessive precision. Typically, prices are rounded off to a more standard decimal representation, such as $3.40 or $3.39.
