What if all of the multiple choice questions were removed and it simply asked you what you should do first? Do you have any idea?

Look at the original question and attempt to solve for how many miles they have travelled.

Answer 5

Look, you can see that every day they travel 490 for up to 9 days.

This means that you can do 490 * 9 to get miles of the first 9 days of their journey. After those nine days have passed instead of driving another 490 miles they flew 1292 miles so you can simply do

490 * 9 + 1292 = ?
