I need help with this, please. Your family is driving from Harrisburg Pennsylvania to San Antonio, Texas a trip of 1430 miles. You begin the trip with a full tank of gas and after traveling 350 miles you refill the tank for $35. How much should you plan to spend on gasoline for the entire trip?

Here, we are required to estimate the total amount you should plan to spend on gasoline for the entire trip

The total amount you should plan to spend on gasoline for the entire trip is $143

Total distance of the trip = 1430 miles

After 350 miles, refill tank = $35

This means 350 miles cost $35

1430 miles cost $x

solve using ratio

350 : 35 = 1430 : x

350/35 = 1430 / x

10 = 1430/x

cross product

10x = 1430

Divide both sides by 10

x = 1430 / 10

x = $143

Therefore, the total amount you should plan to spend on gasoline for the entire trip is $143
