Shadow · Answer

27 miles per gallon is equal to $4.04 per gallon.

$$27 mpg = 4.04g$$

Since one gallon gets us 27 miles, and costs of $4.04, we want to know how much $$$ in gas does one mile cost. Then we multiply that # by 2,727.

Shadow · Answer

You get that number by dividing 4.04 by 27. Since $4.04 is one gallon, and one gallon gets you 27 miles. You divide that 4.04 up into 27 parts, for each mile of that 27 miles. Then you get the price of the gas for that 1/27th of the gallon of gas.
