( miles / gallon ) x ( gallons ) = miles driven
+24%2A12.5+=+300+ mi
--------------------
( dollars / gallon ) / ( mi/gallon ) = dollars/mile
+1.1+%2F+24+ dollars/mile
------------------------
( dollars/mile )x ( miles ) = dollars spent
+%28+1.1%2F24+%29%2A300+=+13.75+
Driver will spend $13.75 on this trip
