For this case, the equation modeling the problem is given by:
[tex] y = 0.62x [/tex]
Where,
x: number of miles
y: total cost
For 12,000 miles we have:
[tex] y = 0.62 * (12000) [/tex]
[tex] y = 7440 [/tex]
Therefore, to handle 12,000 miles, the cost will be $ 7440.
Answer:
it costs 7440 $ to drive a car 12,000 miles in 2012.
