This is a uniform rates problem.
R for price in dollars per gallon,
....

...this feels more comfortable as a unit conversion problem, instead.

4.40 dollars per gallon, 35 miles per gallon, 491 miles.
Start with 491 miles, and determine the cost for "how much pay".

491%2Amiles%2A%281%2F35%29%28gallon%2Fmiles%29%2A%284.40%29%28dollars%2Fgallon%29
