I need to multiply the price of gas by 10%, the current price is 3.929. To multiply it by 10% should I multiply the price by 1.10?

You didn't say anything new.  Do you have an actual problem statement?

Gas prices increase 10%: 3.929 * (1 + 0.10) = ??
Gas prices decrease 10%: 3.929 * (1 - 0.10) = ??
We just want to know 10% of 3.929: 3.929*0.10 = ??
