{{{ 7*3.29 = 23.03 }}} dollars of turkey needed
-------------------------
Cost of driving to the neighborhood store:
[ miles ] / [ miles/gallon ] = [ gallons ]
{{{ 2.4 / 21 = .1143 }}} gallons
[ gallons ] x [ dollars/gallon ] = dollars
{{{ .1143*3.75 = .43 }}} dollars
-----------------------------------------
Cost of driving to the across town store:
{{{ 8.6 / 21 = .4095 }}} gallons
{{{ .4095*3.75 = 1.54 }}} dollars
------------------------------------------
Total cost to go to neighborhood store:
{{{ 23.03 + .43 = 23.46 }}} dollars
Total cost to go to across town store:
{{{ 23.03 + 1.54 = 24.57 }}} dollars
