If you rent a car, you can (1) return it with a full gas tank, (2) return it without filling it and pay $5.75/gallon, or (3) accept a fixed
price of $60 for gas. The local price is $3.50/gallon for gasoline, and you expect this car to get 25 miles per gallon. The car has a
20-gallon tank. What choice should you make if you expect to drive:
(a) 150 miles?
(b) 300 miles?
(c) 450 miles?

Shin likes to spend a (relatively small)
portion of his income on vacations to Cabo
San Lucas (a popular resort area in Mexico).
On these trips, he either stays at a four-star
resort with panoramic ocean views or a
more modest, and slightly deteriorating
hotel in the noisy part of town.
Understandably, the four-star hotel is
significantly more expensive. Suppose that
the four-star hotel costs $5000/trip while
the hotel costs just $500/trip. In recent
years, the price of airfare has risen
significantly, a change that affects the cost
of his trips the same regardless of where he
stays. Suppose that airfare has increased
from $300/trip to $1000/trip. Why is it that
following the higher travel prices, Shin is
likely to spend more of his vacations at the
four-star resort when he travels? (Assume
that the hotel rates and Shin's preferences
are fixed).
All of the options are the same with each items
