To calculate the average miles per year that Sawyer has driven the car over the past three years, we first need to find the total miles driven during that time period.
1. Initial odometer reading: 71,615 miles
2. Odometer reading after three years: 116,615 miles
Total miles driven over the three years = Odometer reading after three years - Initial odometer reading
Total miles driven = 116,615 miles - 71,615 miles
Total miles driven = 45,000 miles
Next, we find the average miles driven per year:
Average miles per year = Total miles driven / Number of years
Average miles per year = 45,000 miles / 3 years
Average miles per year = 15,000 miles/year
Therefore, the average miles per year Sawyer has driven the car is **15,000** miles.
1. Initial odometer reading: 71,615 miles
2. Odometer reading after three years: 116,615 miles
Total miles driven over the three years = Odometer reading after three years - Initial odometer reading
Total miles driven = 116,615 miles - 71,615 miles
Total miles driven = 45,000 miles
Next, we find the average miles driven per year:
Average miles per year = Total miles driven / Number of years
Average miles per year = 45,000 miles / 3 years
Average miles per year = 15,000 miles/year
Therefore, the average miles per year Sawyer has driven the car is **15,000** miles.
