Answer:

The commuter pays $468.75 in gasoline taxes per year.

Explanation:

First, find the number of gallons used per year;

If 16 miles= 1 gallon

then , 10,000 miles=? (10000) / 16= 625 gallons

Next, find taxes paid for the 625 gallons per year;

If 1 gallon= $0.75 in tax

then 625 gallons =? (625*0.75) = 468.75

Therefore, the commuter pays $468.75 in gasoline taxes per year.
