Answer:

A $1950

Step-by-step explanation:

Food, camper rental and camp site will cost 1350

(120 + 65 + 85)5 = 1350

The trip is 2500 and the car gets  8 miles per gallon  2500/8 = 31.5.  The will need to buy 31.5 gallons of gas at 1.92 a gallon or $600 (31.5 x 1.92).

When we add the cost of gas to the other costs, we get a total of 1950 (1350 + 600)
