Sam is renting one of two cars to go on a 300-mile trip. The first car can travel 75 miles on 5 gallons of gas. The second car can travel 240 miles on 20 gallons of gas. Each car costs the same to rent, and Sam wants to rent the car with the better gas mileage. Sam estimates that he will pay $49.49 for every 14 gallons of gas he has to buy. Which car should Same rent, and how much money should Sam bring for gas? Explain your reasoning

First let’s establish a few things, The first car can travel 300 miles with 20 gallons of gas, if 14 gallons of gas costs 49.49 then for ever gallon of gas Sam is paying 3 dollars and 53.5 cents. That means for 20 gallons, Sam will need around 71$ for the entire trip if he uses the first car.
