Final answer:

Camille can visit Grandeur Peak, Temple Square, and Hogle Zoo within her $240 car rental budget.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to decide which destinations Camille can visit and stay within her $240 car rental budget, we need to calculate the total roundtrip mileage for each destination and the corresponding car rental cost for each destination.

Let's calculate the roundtrip mileage for each destination:

  • Park City Outlet Mall & Olympic Park: 76.2 miles
  • Grandeur Peak: 46.2 miles
  • Temple Square: 21.8 miles
  • Hogle Zoo: 45.4 miles
  • Lavell Edwards Stadium: 106.6 miles

Now let's calculate the corresponding car rental cost for each destination:

  • Park City Outlet Mall & Olympic Park: $240 x (76.2 / 26.5) = $693.58
  • Grandeur Peak: $240 x (46.2 / 26.5) = $419.62
  • Temple Square: $240 x (21.8 / 26.5) = $197.97
  • Hogle Zoo: $240 x (45.4 / 26.5) = $412.08
  • Lavell Edwards Stadium: $240 x (106.6 / 26.5) = $964.53

Based on these calculations, Camille can visit Grandeur Peak, Temple Square, and Hogle Zoo within her $240 car rental budget.
