Given that Katie had driven 900 miles and used about 36 gallons of gas.

The average cost of gas per gallon = $4.139

The amount she spent on gas would be:


\text{ The average cost of gas per gallon x gallons of gas used}

Hence, the amount Katie spent on gas would be:


\begin{gathered} \text{ }\frac{\text{\$4.139}}{\text{gallon}}*\text{ 36 gallons} \\ =\text{ \$149.004} \end{gathered}

She spent $149.004
