Solution:

The maximum possible cost of the gasoline for the trip occurs when Ms. Jiminez drives the longest possible distance, the cost of gasoline is the priciest possible per gallon, and fuel efficiency is the lowest possible. Therefore, the maximum possible cost of the gasoline for the trip is:

9000/20 x 0.95 = 450 x 0.95 = $427.50
