Jason is planning to travel to Philadelphia to Orlando. His destination is 1,010 miles one way. If he flies, he can get a one-way ticket for $295. If he drives, it will take him 2 days to get there, and the cost of renting a car would be $45 per day, plus $0.19 per mile. Considering his transportation costs alone, would it cost more if he flew or drove?

A) Driving is less expensive
B) Flying is less expensive
C) The costs are equal
D) Not enough information
All i know is that B is not the answer.

A is the answer because it costs $295 for the ticket and $271.9 in total if he drives in car. So therefore driving is less expensive.
