Problem of the Month

Q1: What is worse, prices going from $3.49 per gallon to $3.89 per gallon or prices going from $4.29 per gallon to $4.79 per gallon? How would you evaluate that?

Q2: A math instructor was renting a car in the Faroe Islands? Gas there cost 132.5 DKK per litre. How does that compare to the current average cost of a gallon of gas in the US (look it up!)?
