Lydia wants to become a stuntwoman for the movies. She finds a great school online and gets accepted. The only

problem is that the school is in California and Lydia doesn't have a car or money for a plane ticket. It will cost her
$2,000 to buy a car that gets 30 miles per gallon. The trip is 1200 miles and gas is $4.00 per gallon. It is $2,500 for the
plane ticket. Which would be cheaper for her the car or the plane?
