Lydia wants to become a stuntwoman for the movies. She finds a great school online and gets accepted. The only problem is that the school is in California and Lydia doesn't have a car or money for a plane ticket. It will cost her
$2,000 to buy a car that gets 30 miles per gallon. The trip is 1200 miles and gas is $4.00 per gallon. It is $2,500 for the
plane ticket. Which would be cheaper for her the car or the plane?

The aeroplane would be cheaper.

Step-by-step explanation:

she only has to spend on the pane which would be $2,500.

It is coming around $2,800 (cost of car+gas bills) if she chooses to buy car.

Hope it helps!

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
