Respuesta :

For this case we have that the cost for each gallon of gasoline is given by:

[tex]\frac {10.5} {3} = 3.5[/tex]

We have that the total number of gallons is equal to 20.

As the family is going to make only one trip then, the total cost is given by:

[tex]20 * 3.5 = 70[/tex]

Answer:

the family should budget 70 $ to make the one-way trip
