$144

Explanation:

We are given that car consumes 6 l of gas every 100 km.

:. In 2000 km car will consume : (6/100 xx 2000) l of gas.

:. 6/cancel100 xx 20cancel00 = 6 xx 20 = 120 l of gas.

Now, 1 l gas costs : $1.20

:. 120 l gas would cost : (1.20 xx 120)$

#= $144

:. Sathish would have to pay $144 at the end of the road-trip for gas.
