The total cost of the trip was $27.81

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Distance traveled = 245.22 miles

Distance traveled per gallon = 25.3 miles

Gallons used for 245.22 miles = $\frac{Total\ distance}{Distance\ per\ gallon}$

Gallons used for 245.22 miles = $\frac{245.22}{25.3} = 9.69\ gallons$

9.69 gallons were used for 245.22 miles.

Cost per gallon = $2.87

Cost of 9.69 gallons = 2.87*9.69 = $27.81

The total cost of the trip was $27.81
