Approximately 27 or 28 gallons of gasoline.

Explanation:

#19.7# miles per gallon means for every #19.7# miles travelled, your car uses #1# gallon of gasoline. So calculating the number of gallons used during a #547# mile trip is done by division.

#547/19.7##=##27.7664974619#

#27.7664974619# is nearly #28# gallons.
