You have to divide 1200 ( $12 converted to cents) by 35 then round to the nearest tenth (one decimal place)
It's 34.2857.. cents or 34.3

The answer is about 34 cents per litre. The actual answer is 0.3428571, by i just rounded it to the nearest tenth of a cent.
I got this answer by dividing 12 by 34.

'per' means 'divide'.
Price per liter means price divided by liters
so,
12/35 = the price per liter
