I'd be pretty surprised if you were from Eastern Europe and lived in Madeira, if you were from anywhere but Ukraine*

If I get 16 mpg avg, and I need to travel 86 miles, and gas is $3.90 avg... how much will that cost me?

Thanks in advance, not good at math

Lol, I suck at math.

86/16 x $3.90 = $20.96

I thought you were Ukranian. At least partly.

Yep, but I also have Russian relatives! But in the end, the Ukrainian people "are" russian, mainly due to the USSR!

Well, technically, I was born in the Azores, so you can add them to your list

To help you to actually understand the question, and not just giving you the answer...

What you know:
86 miles
16 miles per gallon
$3.9 per gallon

In english: with one gallon of gas, you car can travel 16 miles. You need to travel for 86 miles.

86 divided by 16 = 5.375, this means you need 5.375 gallons of fuel to travel 86 miles. Therefore, $3.9 for 1 gallon, 5.375 x $3.9 = $20.9625.

It's more about understanding the information you are given rather than the math.

Alternate way of thinking about it:
16 miles per gallon
$3.9 per gallon

Therefore: It cost $3.9 to travel 16 miles. So, with this information, you can find out how much ti cost to travel one single mile. $3.9/16miles = $0.24375per mile.

You need to travel 86 miles, and you know the cost per mile: 86 x 0.24375 = $20.9625 to travel 86 miles.
