Maria is planning a road trip and needs to calculate the costs based on her expenses. She knows that the cost of gasoline is $3.50 per gallon and her car averages 30 miles per gallon. Maria plans to travel a total of 480 miles.
To create a budget for her trip, Maria sets up an equation to represent the total cost of gasoline. If she lets $d$ represent the total distance in miles, the variable $g$ will represent the cost of gasoline in dollars, and can be determined using the equation:
$$ g =\frac{3.50 imes d}{30} $$
Using this information, calculate the total cost $g$ for the gasoline needed for her trip. Input your answer as a decimal in the grid below.
