Question

5. ALGEBRA Reka Maharis drove her vehicle to and from

work last year. Her records show a total of $1,560.00 for fixed
costs (including depreciation) and $3,740.00 for variable costs.
If it cost her $0.36 per mile to drive, how many miles did she
drive last year?

Answer 1

the number of miles is 14,722

Explanation:

The computation of the number of miles drive last year is shown below:

= Total cost ÷ cost per mile

= $1,560 + $3,740 ÷ $0.36 per mile

= $5,300 ÷ $0.36 per mile

= 14,722 miles

Hence, the number of miles is 14,722
