Answer:

Either $7040 or $220

Explanation:

Scenario A

In this sentence, 10 miles isn't important.

First, you do how much money do you get per trip.

32 x 11 = 352

And there is 20 of this

352 x 20 = 7040

Scenario B

If you get $ 11.00 per trip the 10 miles and the passengers won't matter

20 x 11 = 220
