Money spend = $103.86

Further explanation

Given

Distance :123 km/day

cost 1.1 euros/L

your car's gas mileage is 27.0mi / gal

Required

Money needed

Solution

Distance/week : 123 x 7 = 861 km/week

1 km = 0.621 miles, so for 861 km =

861 x 0.621 = 534.68 miles/week

Amount of gas : 534.68 miles : 27 miles/gal = 19.8 gal

1 gal = 3.785 L , so 19.8 gal =

19.8 x 3.785 = 74.94 L

Cost for euros = 74.94 x 1.1 = 82.43

Cost for dollars = 82.43 x 1.26 = $103.86
