Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to structure the total cost formula for each car:
Car A:
Total cost= 368 + 2.89(x/18)
Car B:
Total cost= 409 + 2.89(x/60)
x= number of miles
Now, the total cost for 12,000 miles:
Car A:
Total cost= 368 + 2.89*(12,000/18)=
Total cost= $2,294.67
Car B:
Total cost= 409 + 2.89*(12,000/60)
Total cost= $987
Cost difference= 2,294.67 - 987= $1,307.67
