Help or guidance on how to answer both
You are going to drive from Rockport Tx to New Orleans in October with three friends for three nights. The four of you have $700 for gas and lodging. The lodging must be located in following areas of New Orleans...The Garden District or Faubourg Marigny. You will need to research how many miles it is and back to New Orleans and calculate how much money will be spent in gas (assume 25 miles per gallon and a per gallon price of $2.25).

You are going to drive from Rockport Tx to Carlsbad Caverns in July with three friends for three nights. The four of you have $500 for gas and lodging. The lodging must be located within 40 minutes of Carlsbad Caverns National Park (be creative). You will need to research how many miles it is and back to Carlsbad, NM and calculate how much money will be spent in gas (assume 25 miles per gallon and a per gallon price of $2.25).
