The Federal Government is sending many taxpayers a $600 check to boost the economy (May, 2008).
One writer, who drives a 1984 Volvo station wagon that gets 18 miles to the gallon, thought about spending the money for gasoline. He lives near San Francisco, CA, where gasoline is very expensive. He pays $4.19 for one gallon. All taxes are included in that $4.19.
To the nearest gallon, how many gallons could he buy?
To the nearest mile, how many miles could he drive with that gasoline?
Just for fun, can you find someplace he can drive to, and return, from San Francisco with that much gasoline?
