As Yuric prepares to leave, he checks his phone for directions. The app says the shopping center is [latex]42.78[/latex] miles away. Yuric pauses for a moment to consider the number.

As Yuric drives, the soothing voice of the GPS guides him. It tells him that his next turn is in one and three-tenths of a mile.

Yuric’s journey continues and he notices his fuel tank is nearly empty. He spots a nearby gas station advertising unleaded gasoline at [latex]$3.479[/latex] per gallon. Yuric’s car requires [latex]12.5[/latex] gallons to fill up. Yuric wonders how much it will cost to fill up his car with gas.
