Answer: The family budget to make the one-way trip should be $70.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The cost of three gallons of gasoline=$10.50

Therefore, the cost of one gallon of gasoline= $\frac{10.50}{3}=\$3.5$

The cost of 20 gallons of gasoline = $20*3.5=\$70$

Therefore, The family budget to make the one-way trip should be $70.
