Question

ALGEBRA Jake Duffy drove 12,568 miles

Answer 1

Answer:

The cost per mile that Jack Duffy charge $0.278 per miles , i.e option B  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The distance drove by Jack Duffy = d = 12,568 miles

The fixed costs totaled = $1,485.00

The variable cost totaled = $2,015.75

Let The cost per mile that Jack Duffy charge = $x cost per miles

Now, According to question

The totaled cost = The fixed costs + The variable cost

Or, The totaled cost = $1,485.00 + $2,015.75

I.e  The totaled cost = $3500.75

Now,

The cost per mile that Jack Duffy charge = $\dfrac{\extrm Total cost}{\textrm Total Distance}$

I.e x = $\dfrac{3500.75}{12568}$

∴ x = $0.278 per miles

So,The cost per mile that Jack Duffy charge = x = $0.278 per miles .

Hence,The cost per mile that Jack Duffy charge $0.278 per miles , i.e option B  Answer
