$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.
