Answer 1

Answer:

$0.42

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Luisa Díaz drove her vehicle about 7,200 miles last year.

Total fixed cost = $1,058.40

Total variable cost = $1965.60

Question asked:

How much did it cost per mile ?

Solution:

Total cost of driving 7200 miles = Total fixed cost + Total variable cost

                                                     = $1,058.40 + $1965.60

                                                     = $3024

By unitary method:

Cost of driving 7200 miles = $3024

Cost of driving 1 mile = $3024 $\div$ 7200

                                   = $0.42

Thus, cost of driving per mile is $0.42
