Step-by-step explanation:

just kidding $72.52

Step-by-step explanation:

A gallon of gasoline costs $2.96.

Your car can travel the distance on each gallon of gasoline = 28.8 miles

Your length of the trip =  miles =

First we calculate the total use of gasoline on the trip.

∵ By 1 gallon gas of gasoline you can cover the distance = 28.8 miles

∴ to take  miles trip gasoline used =

=

=

= 24.5 gallons

Since the cost of one gallon gasoline = $2.96

∴ The cost of 24.5 gallons of gasoline = 24.5 × 2.96

                                                               = $72.52

You spend $72.52 on gasoline for the trip of  miles.
