Question: Sally is saving up for a trip to Sea World. She already has $28 saved. It costs her $10 to park, $55 to get into the park and $25 for a meal pass. Sea World is 165 miles away and her car gets 30 miles per gallon of gas. If gas costs $3 a gallon, how much more will she have to save up?
Answer: She will be driving 330 miles for her trip because 2 x 165 = 330. They will need 11 gallons of gas because 330 / 30 = 11. The gas will cost $33 because 11 x 3 = 33. Her total cost is $123 because 10 + 55 + 25 + 33 = 123. She needs to save $95 more because 123 - 28 = 95. The answer is 95.
