Benito spent $1837 to operate his car last year. Some of these expenses are listed below. Benito's only other expense was for gasoline. If he drove 7600 miles, what was the average cost of the gasoline per mile?

Answer 1

Operating Expenses
Cost Insurance $972
Registration $114

1837 - 972 - 114 - 105 = 646 cost of gasoline

646 / 7600 = 0.085 or 8.5 centavos
