The answer is: $ 85.81 .
_______________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
_______________________________________________
(1 gal / 22 mi) * (930 mi) =

(1 gal / 22 mi) * (930 mi / 1) = {the units of "mi" ("miles" cancel out} ;

= (1 gal/ 22) * (930 / 1) = (1 gal * 930) ÷ (22 * 1) ;

= (930 gal) ÷ 22 ;

= (465 / 11) gal =

= 42 3/11 gal = 42.2727272727.... gal .
________________________________________________________
(456 /11) gal * ($ 2.03 / gal) =

$85.813636363636363581 -------> round to: $85.81 .
