You would spend $71.32 per week on gas.

Step 1. Convert weeks to days

Time = 1 wk × (7 days/1 wk) = 7 days

Step 2. Calculate the distance travelled

Distance = 7days × 125 km/day = 875 km

Step 3. Convert kilometres to miles

Distance = 875 km × (1 mi/1.609 km) = 543.8 mi

Step 4. Calculate the gallons of gas

V = 543.8 mi × (1 gal/40.0 mi) = 13.60 gal

Step 5. Convert gallons to litres

V = 13.60 US gal × (3.785 L/1 US gal) = 51.46 L

Step 6. Calculate the cost of the gas

Cost = 51.46 L × (€1.10/1 L) = €56.60

Step 7. Convert euros to dollars

Cost = €56.60 × ($1.26/€1) = $71.32
