Benito spent $1822 to operate his car last year. some of these expenses are listed below. benito's only other expense was for gasoline. if he drove 7340 miles, what was the average cost of the gasoline per mile?

operating expenses

insurance $809

registration $170

maintenance $57

a. 61.06 cents

b. 10.71 cents

c. 1.27 cents

d. not enough information

  B.  10.71 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Benito's other expenses total ...

  $809 +170 +57 = $1036

so his gas expense is ...

  $1822 -1036 = $786

Then the per-mile cost is ...

  $786/(7340 mi) ≈ $0.10708/mi

Benito's gas cost averaged 10.71¢ per mile.

Answer is B) 10.71 cents.

You just add Benito's operating expenses togther, like so:

809 + 170 + 57 = $1036 so far.

Next, subtract the total amount he spent this last year (1822), with how much he spent so far (1036).

1822 - 1036 = $786

Finally, divide the final total with the 7340 miles he plans to drive.

786 ÷ 7340 = 0.10708

Answer is B) 10.71 cents.
