In a certain state, gasoline stations compute the price per gallon "\(p\)", in dollars, charged at the pump by adding a 4 percent sales tax to the dealer's price per gallon "\(d\)", in dollars, and then adding a gasoline tax of $0.18 per gallon. Which of the following gives the dealer's price per gallon "\(d\)" in terms of the price per gallon "\(p\)" charged at the pump?

A. \(d = p - 0.22\)

B. \(d = \dfrac{p}{1.22}\)

C. \(d = \dfrac{p}{1.04} - 0.18\)

D. \(d = \dfrac{p-0.18}{1.04}\)

E. \(d = \dfrac{p-0.04}{1.18}\)

The OA is D
