Solution

Sure, here are the steps to solve this problem:

  1. First, we need to find out how many gallons of gas the truck will use for the entire trip. We do this by dividing the total miles of the trip by the truck's miles per gallon (mpg). So, 2,093 miles ÷ 23 mpg = approximately 91 gallons.

  2. Next, we need to find out the total cost of the gas. We do this by multiplying the number of gallons by the cost per gallon. So, 91 gallons x 2.28pergallon=2.28 per gallon = 207.48.

So, it would cost approximately $207.48 to pay for the gas if this truck made a trip of 2,093 miles.
