My question is: In North Carolina, Jim bought 10 gallons of gas at $2.00/gallon. He paid $1.00 more per gallon in Virginia where he bought another 10 gallons of gas. How much has he spent on gas? Your thoughts:

In North Carolina, he bought 10 gallons at $2.00 / gallon for a total of 10 * 2 = $20.00. He paid $2.00 a gallon in North Carolina and $1.00 more in Virginia for a total of 2 + 1 = $3.00 / gallon. He bought 10 gallons at $3.00 / gallon in Virginia for a total of 10 * 3 = $30.00. He spent $20.00 in North Carolina and $30.00 in Virginia for total of 20 + 30 = $50.00. The final answer: 50.
