Textbook Question

Chapter 5.2, Problem 30CE

C. Solve:

Life Skills A trades worker has a job in a large city. She can either rent an apartment in the city for $1400 per month or a comparable one in the suburbs for $1200 per month. If she lives in the city, she can walk or bike to work. If she lives in the suburbs, she must drive 60 miles per day round trip an average of 22 days per month. Her car averages 24 mi/gal and gas costs $2.50 per gallon. If she decides to live in the suburbs, would the total monthly cost of gas be more or less than the extra rent?
