[Question]Leila and her friends want to rent a car for their one-day trip that is 150 kilometers long each way. The first option for a car rental costs $50 a day, excluding gasoline. The second option costs $90 a day including gasoline. A liter of gasoline can cover 15 kilometers and costs $0.90 per liter. Their car rental will need to carry them to and from their destination. How much will they save if they will choose the first option rather than the second one?
[Answer]Leila and her friends will travel a total distance of 150 x 2 = 300 kilometers back - and - forth. They will need 300 / 15 = 20 liters of gasoline for this trip. So, they will pay $0.90 x 20 = $18 for the gasoline. Thus, the first option will costs them $50 + $18 = $68. Therefore, they can save $90 - $68 = $22 if they choose the first option. The answer is 22.
[Question]Teresa orders 2 fancy ham and cheese sandwiches for $7.75 each at a local shop. While there, she decides to pick up some salami for $4.00, more brie which is three times the price of the salami, a 1/4 pound of olives that are $10.00 per pound, 1/2 pound of feta cheese that's $8.00 a pound and another loaf of french bread that is $2.00. How much does she spend at the local shop?
[Answer]
She orders 2 sandwiches that are $7.75 so they cost 2 * $7.75 = $15.50. The brie is three times more expensive than the $4.00 salami so the brie costs 3 * $4 = $12.00. She buys 1 / 4 pound of the olives that costs $10.00 a pound so they cost .25 * $10 = $2.50. She buys 1 / 2 pound of feta that costs $8.00 a pound so it costs .5 * $8 = $4.00. The salami is $4.00, the brie is $12.00, olives are $2.50 and the feta is $4.00 and the sandwiches are $15.50 for a total of $4 + $12 + $2.50 + $4 + $15.50 = $38.00. Adding the french bread gives $38.00 + $2.00 = $40. The answer is 40.
