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

Step-by-step 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}(mi)/(day))*number\text{ of days\lparen}(days)/(year))`

replace

`\begin{gathered} total\text{ miles= 13}(mi)/(day)*245(days)/(year) \\ total\text{ miles=3185}(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
