A grocery store offers 10 gas points of gas for every $50 you spend on groceries. For every 10 gas points you earn, you get to take $0.10 off every gallon of gas you buy. Currently, gas is $3.25 per gallon. When Monica fills up her car, she usually puts around 12 gallons of gas in it. How much money must Monica spend at the grocery store to fill up her car for less than $35.00?

Answer: $2,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Gas is $3.25 per gallon. If Monica needs 12 gallons, cost would be:

= 12 * 3.25

= $39

If she wants to fill up for less than $35, she will have to earn the difference in points:

= 39 - 35

= $4

One can get $0.10 off for every $50 spent. The number of 10 cents in $4 is:

= 4 / 0.1

= 40

Monica would therefore have to spend:

= 50 * 40

= $2,000
