Geordie takes a toll road on his drive to work and back every day of his five-day workweek. The toll is $12.50 per car or $7 per motorcycle. Both his car and his motorcycle get 35 miles per gallon of gas and the commute to work is 14 miles. Gas costs him $3.75 per gallon. Geordie drives his car to work three times a week and his motorcycle to work twice a week. How many dollars does he spend driving to work and back on the same route in a week? Give me reasons, before answering the question

Geordie pays 12.50 * 3 = $37.50 for car tolls driving to work three times a week. He pays 7 * 2 = $14 for motorcycle tolls driving to work twice a week. He drives 14 * 5 = 70 miles to work each five - day workweek. He uses 70 / 35 = 2 gallons of gas on the drive. He spends 3.75 * 2 = $7.50 on gas each week. Thus, he spends 37.50 + 14 + 7.50 = $59 driving to work. Since he drives to work and back from work, he spends 59 * 2 = $118 a week. So the final answer is 118.
