Evidently, they want the answer in dollars, not euros
In terms of just units:
[ 1 liter / km ] x [ euros / 1 liter ] x [ km ] x [ dollars / euro ] = [ dollars ]
+%28+1%2F26+%29%2A%28+1.5+%2F+1+%29%2A%28+300+%29%2A%28+1.2035+%2F+1+%29+
+%28+1.5+%2F+26+%29%2A300%2A1.2035+
+%28+1.5+%2F+26+%29%2A361.05+
+.05769%2A361.05+
+20.8298+
It costs $20.83 to drive 300 km
