Can anyone please help me with this project?? There are three sections for this project. I will mark brainlest for the best answer. (Do not answer only for points or if you don't know the answer)


Information:

Brent would like to start a small landscaping business this summer. He has a lawn mower but needs a truck to carry the lawn mower and other supplies. He has saved $5,700.

Since his uncle knows a lot about trucks, he decides to ask him for some help. His uncle recommends a few truck models and suggests that he pay attention to how many miles are on the vehicle. His uncle reminds him that he will need to pay for the sales tax and license for the car. Brent sets aside $800 for these expenses. He does some research and finds the following trucks within his budget:

(trucks he has listed)

1996 Ford F150

red

8 cylinder

automatic

124,365 miles

$4,495


2000 Toyota Tundra

white

6 cylinder

manual

106,675 miles

$4,899


1998 Chevrolet 1500

red

6 cylinder

automatic

120,325 miles

$4,795

Brent thinks about how much he will need to pay for car insurance. He thinks that it would be a good idea to get quotes on auto insurance for the models that he is considering. He also thinks about the truck's gas mileage and how the truck was rated by consumer Web sites and magazines.

3 Questions:

1) Gather reliable information to help Brent make his decision. To gather this information, use newspapers, call insurance companies or look at their Web sites, and review consumer magazines and Web sites. Also, look at the manufacturer Web site or www.fueleconomy.gov for information about gas mileage. List the sources you use and take notes.


2) Use the PACED decision-making process to make the decision for Brent. Show your work. (PACED = problem, alternatives, criteria, evaluate, decide)


3) Describe why you made this decision.
