Question

This week you have travelled 2.1 miles on Monday, 17.7 miles on Tuesday and 9.0 miles on Wednesday. The rate you can claim is 0.45 per mile. How much would you claim for the week?

Answer 1

The total claim for the week's travel at a rate of $0.45 per mile, after traveling 2.1 miles on Monday, 17.7 miles on Tuesday, and 9.0 miles on Wednesday, would be $12.96.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total amount you would claim for the week based on your travel distance and the rate per mile, you would multiply each day's miles by the rate and then add up the totals for each day.

Here is the calculation:

• Monday: 2.1 miles x $0.45/mile = $0.945
• Tuesday: 17.7 miles x $0.45/mile = $7.965
• Wednesday: 9.0 miles x $0.45/mile = $4.05

Adding these amounts together gives us:

$0.945 (Monday) + $7.965 (Tuesday) + $4.05 (Wednesday) = $12.96

Therefore, for the week, you would claim $12.96.
