The method, explained

Liters = distance × consumption/100. Cost = liters × fuel price.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Using trip distance = 500 km, fuel consumption = 7 L/100 km, fuel price = 1.5 money/L, the result is 52.5 currency. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.
