Hodel just got her driver's license. Her parents offer her two options. 1. They'll buy her a used car that will cost her $0.50 per mile in gas and maintenance fees. 2. They'll buy her a new hybrid car but she'll have to contribute $5,000 to the cost. The new car will then cost her an additional $0.10 per mile in gas and maintenance fees.
