Answer:

about $57.42

Step-by-step explanation:

we know how many miles they drove in all (510) and how many miles they can drive per gallon (23)

we need to find out how many gallons of gas they used by dividing the total number of miles they drove (510) by the number of miles per gallon (23) which is about 22.17

510 ÷ 23 = 22.17

we then need to find out how much money they spent on the total number of gallons of gas they purchased by multiplying 22.17 by the amount of money for one gallon of gas ($2.59)

22.17 × 2.59 = $57.42
