uhh to find out how much Marley should budget for gas for the trip, we need to first calculate how many gallons of gas they will need.

The number of gallons of gas needed is equal to the total distance of the trip divided by the car's gas mileage:

1350 miles ÷ 25 miles per gallon = 54 gallons of gas

Now that we know how many gallons of gas Marley will need, we can calculate the total cost of the gas by multiplying the number of gallons by the price per gallon:

54 gallons x $2.549 per gallon = $137.65

Therefore, Marley should budget $137.65 for gas for the trip. The answer is C. $137.65.
