Answer:

$64.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following

Total distance = 900miles

Rate per gallon = 21miles per gallon

rate = distance/time

Get the number of gallons used;

Number of gallons used = 900/21

Number of gallons = 42.857gallons

If coost of 1 gallon is $1.50

42.857gallons will cost 42.857 * 1.50

42.857gallons will cost $64.3

Hence he should budget $64.3 for the trip
