First, you need to find out how much money was spent on gas alone so subtract the fees for registration and insurance:
2011-972-114=925
Rafael spent a total of $925 on gas.
It cost him 925 to drive 12500 miles. To find out how much it cost him to drive one mile, divide 925 by 12500:
925/12500=.074
The gas cost $.074 per mile

$ 2011 less $ 972 of insurance and $ 114 for registration is $ 925.
That is what he paid for gas
Dividing $ 925 by 12500 miles you get the cost of gas per mile: $ 0.074

he spent $2,011 total, $1086 was not gas ($972 + $114) so he spent $925 in gas for the year. $925 divided 12,500 ways is how much he spent in gas.

money spent on insurance+registration=$972+$114
=$1086
so money spent on gas=$2011-$1086
=$925
cost of gas per mile=$925/12500
= $0.074

2,011-972= 1,039
1,039-114= 925
$925 left for gas money
$925/12,500 miles = $.074/mile

If you need help on this problem, you need to pay more attention in class. They have study programs for students who are willing to put extra effort into a class. Someone on this site can tell you the answer, but if you don't know how to figure it out on your own, they really aren't doing you any favors.
