Solution Steps

To find the difference in price between the car with the highest highway gas mileage and the car with the lowest highway gas mileage, we first identify the highway miles per gallon (mpg) for each car. Then, we determine which car has the highest and which has the lowest highway mpg. Finally, we calculate the difference in MSRP between these two cars.

Step 1: Identify Highway MPG

The highway miles per gallon (mpg) for each car are as follows:

  • Car 1: \(36\) mpg
  • Car 2: \(31\) mpg
  • Car 3: \(34\) mpg
Step 2: Determine Highest and Lowest MPG

From the values above, we find:

  • Highest highway mpg: Car 1 with \(36\) mpg
  • Lowest highway mpg: Car 2 with \(31\) mpg
Step 3: Identify MSRP

The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for each car is:

  • Car 1: \(\$12,955\)
  • Car 2: \(\$13,830\)
  • Car 3: \(\$12,685\)
Step 4: Calculate Price Difference

The difference in price between the car with the highest highway mpg (Car 1) and the car with the lowest highway mpg (Car 2) is calculated as follows: \[ \text{Price Difference} = \$13,830 - \$12,955 = \$875 \]

Final Answer

The answer is \(\boxed{875}\).
