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?
Step-by-step reasoning:
118
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.

Final answer: 118
