Divide the total distance (330mil.) by the rate per gallon (24mi./gallon). To find the total gallons needed for that distance or trip.

330mil./24=13.75 gallons

Then multiply the number of gallons needed (13.75 gallons) by the price of each gallon ($3.30).

13.75*3.30=$45.375

Round to the nearest cent.

Answer:$45.38
