10.13- Bell-ringer

Bell-ringer: Solve the problem below. Show your work. Do not use a calculator.


Leonard wants to become a stuntman for the movies. He finds a great stuntman school online, and he applies and gets accepted. The only problem is that the school is in California, and Leonard doesn’t have a car or money for a plane ticket. It will cost him $2,000 to buy a car that gets 30 miles per gallon. The trip is 1200 miles and gas is $3.00/gallon. It is $2,500 for the plane ticket. Which one would be cheaper for him?
