You can put this solution on YOUR website! use proportions:
---
miles driven (84) / fuel used (3) = unknown miles driven (x) / fuel used (9.5)
84/3 = x/9.5
---
solve for x:
---
multiply both sides by 9.5:
---
9.5*84/3 = 9.5*x/9.5
9.5*84/3 = x*9.5/9.5
9.5*84/3 = x*1
9.5*84/3 = x
x = 9.5*84/3
x = 266 miles
