Answer:

snacks = $387.00

snacks = $35.80

gas ??

Each gallon $2.54

First, how much spent only on gas. Subtract snacks from total.

387 - 35.80 = 351.20

then number of gallons by dividing total spent in gallons by cost per gallon

351.20 ÷ 2.54 = 138.2

rounded to nearest gallon .. 138 gallons of gas
