The difference in gallons per day used is 3.6.
The formula to calculate a z-score is:
,
where X is the value used to calculate the score, μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation. We have the z-scores so we must work backward:
For both equations, we will cancel the 1.2 by multiplying both sides:
Now we will cancel 2.2 from both equations by adding it to both sides:
3.6+2.2=X-2.2+2.2 and 0+2.2=X-2.2+2.2
5.8=X and 2.2=X
The difference in gas used per day would be given by
5.8-2.2 = 3.6.

First thing to do is to illustrate the problem, Since it was mentioned that work was along the way to training, the order is shown in the picture. Mary's home and workplace are nearer compared to her training center. It is also mentioned that the distance between work and home, denoted as x, is 2/3 of the total distance from home to training. The total distance is (x + 2.5). Thus,
x = 2/3(x+2.5)
x = 2/3 x + 5/3
1/3 x = 5/3
x = 5 km
Thus, the distance from home to work is 5 km. This means that Mary has to walk this distance twice to return home to get her shoes. Then, she will travel again the total distance of 5+2.5 = 7.5 km to get to her training center. So,
Total distance = 2(5km) + 7.5 km
Total distance = 17.5 km
x = 2/3(x+2.5)
x = 2/3 x + 5/3
1/3 x = 5/3
x = 5 km
Thus, the distance from home to work is 5 km. This means that Mary has to walk this distance twice to return home to get her shoes. Then, she will travel again the total distance of 5+2.5 = 7.5 km to get to her training center. So,
Total distance = 2(5km) + 7.5 km
Total distance = 17.5 km
