1. Jenny lives 30 miles from where she works. Her car gets 22 miles per gallon. Jenny works 5 days a week, every week in the year--no holidays or vacations; that hurts! Last year she added up how much she spent for gas which totaled $885.65. She likes to get gas at the full-service gas station for convenience, but this comes at a cost of 5 cents more per gallon. If she bought all her gas for the year at the lower-priced gas station, how much would she save in one year?
$35.45
$70.35
$105.75
