First we need to write the data given in the problem.
Given Data
Distance per day = 125km
Gas cost =1.10 Eu per liter
Car mileage= 37.0 mil/gal
1 Eu= 1.26$
Find
1 week expenditure on Gas =?

Solution
Distance in one week = 125 kmx 7 = 875 km or 543.7 miles
Gas consumed in one week = 543.7/37 = 14.694 gal or 52.99 litre

Answer
Cost of Gas per week = 52.99 x 1.10 = 58.28 Eu or 73.44$
