Explanation / Answer


5000 km is 50 units of 100; each unit uses 6 liters of fuel,for a total of 300 liters. At 1.063 E per, this is 318.90Euros. This is equal to $454.27
We need one more conversion constant to convert liters intogallons:
1 liter = 0.264172052 US gallons
So, 300 liters = 79.3 gallons
