Heights and DistancesSamantha goes on a road trip; she has to drive 1,311 miles and 20 hours to get to her destination but she can only drive 10 hours and 500 per day. Her rental car charges
$98 per day and the car goes 22 miles and requires 1 gallon to travel 22 miles. The car can hold 16 gallon of gas and gas costs $4.60 per gallon.
Now write an equation for the amount you will spend on the vehicle Rental and Gas. If C is the cost, x is the amount of days, and g is the number of gallons needed for your trip. Now include the cost of the gas in your equation - replace g.

Basic MathJennifer just got a new job. The starting salary for the new job is $45,000. The job comes with a choice of two promotion packages. A promotion package is a plan that explains in writing how much Jennifer will make in salary if she continues to do a good job at the company. Jennifer has to decide which of the two promotion packages she wants. The first package increases her salary by 3% each year. The second package increases her salary by $2000 each year. Jennifer plans to stay with the company for 5 years. Which option should she choose?
There is not enough information to determine which package is better.
Both options would yield the same salary after 5 years.
The 3% increase per year yields a higher salary after 5 years.
The $2000 increase per year yields a higher salary after 5 years.
