Benito spent $1837 to operate his car last year. some of these expenses are listed on the table below:
operating expenses
cost
insurance
$972
registration
$114
maintenance
$105
benito’s only other expense was for gasoline. if he drove 7600 miles, what was the average cost of the gasoline per mile?

$0.085 per mile or 8.5 cent per mile

Step-by-step explanation:

We know:

Total expenses = $1837

Gasoline expense = Total expenses - other expenses

= 1837 - 972 - 114 - 105 = $646

Benito drove in total of: 7600 miles

Cost of gasoline per mile = Money spent for gasoline / total miles

= $646 / 7600

= $0.085 per mile or 8.5 cent per mile

Hope this helped :3
