She will spend $74.25 on gas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

27 miles = 1 gallon

1 mile = $\frac{1}{27}\ mile$

Distance to cover = 892 miles

We will multiply this number with gallons of gas used for 1 mile.

892 miles = $\frac{1}{27}*892$

892 miles = 33.04 gallons of gas

Rounding off to nearest whole number;

892 miles = 33 gallons

Cost of one gallon of gas = $2.25

Cost of 33 gallons = 2.25*33 = $74.25

She will spend $74.25 on gas.
