Question

A) $2,000
B) $4,000
C) $6,000
D) $8,000

Answer 1

To calculate the total annual expense for the car, multiply the cost per mile by the number of miles driven per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total annual expense for the car, we need to consider the cost of fuel and maintenance. Let's assume the car gets 25 miles per gallon and the price of fuel is $3 per gallon. So, the cost of fuel per mile is 3/25 = $0.12.

Now, to find the total annual expense, we multiply the cost per mile by the number of miles driven per year: 40,000 * $0.12 = $4,800.

Therefore, the correct answer is $4,800, which is not one of the given options.
