    math question 2 points lol for answer
    lets assume you are playing 1-2 limit poker 20.00 a buy in and u have 2 buy ins per day


    40.00 per day at most you can lose


    estimate drive is will say 5 miles which is less than 1 gallon of gas gas is 3.40 a gallon

    my suv takes 16 gallons of gas for a full tank if you buy 1 gallon of gas per day and only use 10-12 miles per day driving how many days will it take you to get to a full tank.heres the tricky part say it is 10 days add the cost of poker 40.00 per day and what is that number..........i cant seem to figure this answer out.......i will get bashed alot but at the end of the day i bet you cant find the answer either......very hard question

                        You gonna blow your dead parents? Ohh that's right, that was just a story you made up for people to feel sorry for you. And no, I don't need to blow a ***** to get 5 bucks, unlike some people.

                          Hey buddddy.

                          I don't get exactly what you're asking for but ummmm...

                          So if your SUV get's 20mpg and you drive 12 miles a day you will have about 8 miles left in your tank. So if you do that for 10 days you are +80 miles. Since you get 20mpg and have a tank of 16 gallons a tank of gas takes you about 320 miles. So 320/80 = 4 so in 40 days you will have saved up a full tank of gas. Buying gas at 3.40 a gallon for 40 gallons is $136 bucks. So for $136 you get to the poker game every day and get a full tank of gas in 40 days.

                          I don't know what you are asking about the buy-ins of $40... but I guess you're asking about the investment you would need to try to do this. So if you lost both buy ins for $40 days that's $1600.

                          I think the answer is $1736.

                          Hope that helps.

                            The question is strange since you don't really relate your poker playing to the purchase of gas... you say you are adding 1 gallon of gas per day to the SUV, but what does that have to do with losing $40 at poker each day or the cost of gas at all?

                            I'll humor you and maybe you can point me in a better direction for what you are asking.

                            So we want to find out "X", where X is the number of days it will take you to "fill up" your SUV. (edit: I actually think you want the total cost of the adventure, so I've added that).

                            The SUV is full when it receives 16 gallons of gas.

                            Let's start with your SUV being empty, and as per your question, you buy 1 gallon per day in order
                            to fill it up, and you take 1 trip to the casino every day.

                            Your SUV gets 20 miles per gallon.

                            A one-way trip to the casino is 5 miles, so therefore a round-trip is 10 miles.

                            So on the first day, you will put 1 gallon of gas in your car and then drive to the casino and back and you will end up with 1/2 a gallon left in the car.

                            The next day, you will add another gallon to the car (bringing its total to 1.5 gallons) and then drive to the casino and back, losing 1/2 a gallon again, and leaving 1 gallon in the tank.

                            As each day passes you add 1 gallon and remove 1/2 a gallon from dirving, equivalently netting 0.5 gallons per day in the car.

                            At a rate of 0.5 gallons per day, your tank would be full after 32 days (16 gallons).

                            In 32 days you would have spent 32 * $3.40 = $108.80 in gas.

                            If you lost $40 / day at the casino you can also add losses of 32 * $40 = $1280

                            A total cost of: 108.80 + 1280 = $1388.80

                              We did the same math you just used a 10 mile round trip and I used 12 mile round trip I'm pretty sure.

                                  Yes! I didn't check your math at all, but I did notice you used 12 miles per day so your solution would take longer to fill the SUV and be more expensive in the end.

                                  OP said 10-12 miles per day, so it was open to interpretation... it looks like you have given the high-end and I have given the low-end.

                                      Im not even sure what your question is. Assuming all your numbers and prices are correct you spend $3.40 every two days to travel to and from this casino and $40 a day being a sh*tty gambler.

                                      Total cost of a ten day excursion looks to be about $417.20 not counting food or other expenses. But what exactly is your question?
