Math Problem Please Help!!! =(?

Bob, Carol, Ted, and Allison all live in Brewster. They are planning a trip to the state campground at Rocky Beach. The Group is thinking about taking a new interstate highway all the way to Rocky Beach. Their car averages 30 miles per gallon and gas costs $2.25 per gallon. The total distance to Rocky Beach and back to Brewster is about 500 miles. Show the mathematics you used to make a reasonable estimate and explain how you arrived at your answer.

An estimate of what?

Oil use = 500 miles / 30 miles/gallon = 16.7 gal

$$ = 16.7 gal * 2.25 $/gal = $37.6 total cost of trip.
