  1. $352
  2. $19.10

Explanation:

  1. The trip back will be 120% of the trip out. This is:
    #1.2 * 480 = 576.

So, the round trip is 480 + 576 = 1056.

Divided 3 ways, this is $352 for each person.

  1. Round trip plus tax is 338.99 + 32.11 = $371.10

...subtract the cost per person of driving:

371.10 - 352 = $19.10, which is what each person saves.
