Question

find the travel costs per year you drive 13 miles a day, 245 days a year. Use $0.18 per mile.

Answer 1

$ 573.3

Explanation

to find the total, we need to find the numbers of miles by the cost per mile

$travel\text{ cost per pear= \lparen total miles in one year\rparen *cost per mile}$

so

Step 1

find the total miles:

to do that, do the product of the number of days per year, and the rate of miles per day,l this way:

$total\text{ miles= rate\lparen}\frac{mi}{day})*number\text{ of days\lparen}\frac{days}{year})$

replace

$\begin{gathered} total\text{ miles= 13}\frac{mi}{day}*245\frac{days}{year} \\ total\text{ miles=3185}\frac{mi}{year} \end{gathered}$

Step 2

now, replace the total miles value in the expesssion:

$\begin{gathered} travel\text{ cost per year= \lparen total miles in one year\rparen *cost per mile} \\ travel\text{ cost per year=3185 miles* 0.18}\frac{\text{ \ }}{mile} \\ travel\text{ cost per year= \ 573.3 } \end{gathered}$

therefore, the answer is

$ 573.3
