The entire trip will take 6 days.
(Encircle this answer, as said on the directions)
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the first three days of the trip, we traveled 1380 miles.
Find the UNIT RATE of MILES PER day:
1380/3 = 460
Unit rate = 460 miles per day
If we were to drive at this (460 mi per day) rate EACH day and the whole journey takes 2760 miles across the country.
FInd the NUMBER of DAYS of the ENTIRE TRIP:
2760/460 = 6
It will take us 6 days to drive to the destination.

Answer:
I'm not an expert here, this is a best guess!
But I would say if there is no chance that of him incurring excess costs of less than $500, then he knows without insurance he'll end up paying at least $500, possibly more out of pocket, without the insurance.
so I would say He ends up spending the least amount out if pocket by going with option A. for $75. that's $75 out of pocket with no deductible and it covers his $500+ in excess costs....B and C would also cover the excess, but would each cost $140 or $275 out of pocket at the end of the day....
with that being said, I'd say it's worth it to buy the insurance....even if he doesn't have any excess costs, he's spent $75 dollars for the peace of mind to know he's covered either way, and if he does incur the excess costs he's spent $75 rather that $500+....Even if the excess charges are only $100, which it says there is no chance of happening, but still, then he's still saved $25 altogether. Unless I'm reading it wrong, Option A saves him the most money either way, and is worth it to buy the insurance!
