Back to school bargains.
I chose the article Back to School Bargains because I wanted to see how we can save money on school clothes.This kind of relates to me because in my family we have 4 kids and clothes can be expensive especially when it comes to winter clothing because of the coats, hats, gloves, boots, and warm clothing like jeans and sweatshirts. I learned that if the clothes at all the popular stores are way to expensive for you, you can go to platos closet or the child place. At platos closet you can get abrocrombie and american eagle and hollister for really cheap prices and at the child center you can get cheap clothes like gap and the childrens place clothes.

3rd assignment
This assignment is worth 15 points and will be due October 17, 2008. So, continuing on from Assignment #3, complete the following:1) Check out this article:http://www.bts.gov/publications/omnistats/volume_03_issue_04/html/entire.html2) Let's say you are an "average" American based on that article. How many total miles are spent driving to work in one week?) Now, if you are like a typical American, you are doing more driving than just to work and back. In an average week, I drive around 350 miles per week! Use this equation, 350/mpg x P = T (mpg = whatever your car's mpg is, P = local gas price, T = total cost) to find out how much you will spend on gas in one week. Bonus - could you write an equation to find out how much you spend on gas in one month?And finally, if you didn't originally chose a hybrid car, are you interested in one now??!! If so, check this out: http://www.hybridcars.com/ and let me know what you think! ...And kudos to ones who already did! :)
If I was an average american i would spend 105 miles driving to work in one week. I would spend 39.46 dollars in a week. My equation is 39.46x4=157 for a month. I do not want a hybrid car. I like mine.

car
If I had a choice to get any car I wanted, I would get the SSC ultimate aero. I would get this car because the doors flip open and it can go up to 257 miles per hour. The tank can hold 10 gallons. In this car you can get up to 22 miles per gallon. It costs 4 dollars per gallon. If this car gets all the way filled up it would cost around 40 dollars.
