You are buying a car and wish to do a cost/benefit analysis on buying a more
expensive Prius, which gets better mileage, 51 city/48 highway mpg (miles per
gallon), than a cheaper Ford Focus, which gets 27 city/37 highway mpg.

a.) Convert your mpg into gallons per 100 miles driven for both highway and city.

b.) Cells have been created for the number of highway and city miles you drive
each year. Compute how many gallons of gas each car will use for the year.

c.) For the provided price per gallon of gas, compute the total cost of gas for each
car.

d.) In the given cells compute how much more you spend on gas each year for
Focus versus Prius, and compute how much more the Prius costs initially versus the
Focus.

e.) Finally determine how long it will take the gas savings per year to make up for
the extra cost of the Prius.

f.) If the cost of gas goes up will it take more or less time to recoup the extra cost
of the Prius? Answer should be more or less.
