To find the total amount needed for the trip, we can set up the equation based on the information given. If $115 is one-sixth of the total amount needed, we can denote the total amount needed as \( x \).
The relationship can be expressed as:
\[
\frac{1}{6} x = 115
\]
To solve for \( x \), we multiply both sides of the equation by 6:
\[
x = 115 \times 6
\]
Calculating the right side:
\[
x = 690
\]
Thus, the total amount needed for the trip is **$690**.
