Amusement Park Trip
The
Amusement Park Trip
The
Jason family was planning a trip to the Big Brown Bear Amusement Park.
Mr. Jason wanted to take the scenic route while the kids wanted to get
there quick via the turnpike. Mrs. Jason decided to calculate the cost
of each route and take the cheaper route. They left the house at 7 am.
What time did they arrive at the Amusement Park? Mrs. Jason used the information
on the chart to find the cheaper route.
