Answer:

cost per km = $ 2.25

Explanation:

The cost per kilometer is the cost accrued for 1 kilometer. The cost for 1 kilometer can be calculated from the total amount charged for the entire distance covered . Since Emmanuel was charged $32 for 14 2/9 km he will be charged how much for 1 km .

$32 was paid for 128/9 km

? was paid for 1 km

cross multiply

cost per km = 32/128 × 9

cost per km = 288/128

cost per km = $ 2.25
