Suppose that a new fuel-efficient European car travels an average of 26 kilometers on 1 liter of gas. If gas costs 2.25 euros per liter, how much will it cost to drive 200 kilometers in dollars? State all of the conversion factors that you use.
A. 1= 1L/26km
B. 1= 1.256 dollars/1 euro
C. 1=200km/1L
D. 1= 1L/1000 mL
E. 1= 1 euro/1.256 dollars
F. 1=2.25 euros/1 L

if gasoline costs 2.25 euros per liter, it will cost how much to drive 200 kilometers. (Do not round until final answer. Then round to nearest cent.)
