The result wanted is DOLLARS and you want to relate DOLLARS to MILES; the speed of travel is not important in this problem. It would be important if you had datum about each travel speed.

25.6%2Amiles%281%2Agallon%2F%2818%2Amiles%29%29%2A%283%2Adollars%2F%281%2Agallon%29%29;
Look carefully where the units are, and that certain units cancel to give you a result in units of dollars.
