Five percent is written as 5%, or in decimal form as .05. It means five hundredths, or 5/100. The word "of" in your question means "multiply".
5 X .05 equals .25 gallons, or one quarter of a gallon, or 1/4 of a gallon.

I've made my fair share of mistakes, and if I can help you avoid a few, I'd sure like to try.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

I've poured enough drinks to know that people don't always want advice—they just want to talk.
