    Answer:The cost of petrol used in November is £86

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Here, we are interested in calculating the cost of the petrol the car used in the month of November.

    We proceed as follows;

    Total miles driven = 580 miles

    Now, on a gallon of petrol, the car will travel 33.5 miles

    Thus, the amount of gallon of petrol

    used for 580 miles will be 580/33.5

    Let's convert this to liters

    Since 1 gallon is 4.55 liters, 580/33.5 gallons will be 580/33.5 * 4.55 = 78.78 liters

    now the cost of 1 liter is 1.09, the cost of 78.78 will be 78.78 * 1.09 = 85.87

    To the nearest pounds, we have the cost as £86.
