Question

average cost per mile. (Round off your answer to the nearest hundredth).

Answer 1

To find the average cost per mile, you can use the following formula:

\[ \text{Average cost per mile} = \frac{\text{Total car expenses}}{\text{Total miles driven}} \]

Given:

• Total car expenses = $625
• Total miles driven = 9,600 miles

Substituting the values into the formula:

\[ \text{Average cost per mile} = \frac{625}{9600} \approx 0.06510417 \]

Now, rounding this result to the nearest hundredth:

\[ \text{Average cost per mile} \approx 0.07 \]

Therefore, the average cost per mile is $0.07.
