$ 573.3
Explanation
to find the total, we need to find the numbers of miles by the cost per mile
[tex]travel\text{ cost per pear= \lparen total miles in one year\rparen *cost per mile}[/tex]so
Step 1
find the total miles:
to do that, do the product of the number of days per year, and the rate of miles per day,l this way:
[tex]total\text{ miles= rate\lparen}\frac{mi}{day})*number\text{ of days\lparen}\frac{days}{year})[/tex]replace
[tex]\begin{gathered} total\text{ miles= 13}\frac{mi}{day}*245\frac{days}{year} \\ total\text{ miles=3185}\frac{mi}{year} \end{gathered}[/tex]Step 2
now, replace the total miles value in the expesssion:
[tex]\begin{gathered} travel\text{ cost per year= \lparen total miles in one year\rparen *cost per mile} \\ travel\text{ cost per year=3185 miles* 0.18}\frac{\text{ \$}}{mile} \\ travel\text{ cost per year= \$573.3 } \end{gathered}[/tex]therefore, the answer is
$ 573.3
I hope this helps you
