Try starting with the needed trip miles.

250%2Amiles%2A%281%2F22%29%28gallons%2Fmiles%29%2A%282.40%2F1%29%28dollars%2Fgallon%29
check how the arrangement of units works with these ratios.

%28%28250%2A2.40%29%2F22%29%2ADOLLARS

highlight%2827.27%2ADOLLARS%29

One full tank is more than enough money to pay for the fuel for this trip.
Note that if the 250 miles is ONE WAY, then a little more than one full tank will be needed to make the return trip. Othewise, short on fuel by about 3 dollars-worth.
