Question

step 2. toyota corolla hybrid (gas)

1. gallons used per year = 12,000 ÷ 47
2. annual fuel cost = gallons × $3.80

step 3. tesla y (electric)

1. kwh per mile = 75 ÷ 330
2. annual energy use = 12,000 × (kwh per mile)
3. annual charging cost = kwh × $0.16

fill in table 1
car\tannual fuel cost
nissan versa\t$
toyota corolla hybrid\t$
tesla y\t$
table 2: cumulative costs (car price + fuel costs)
car prices given

• nissan versa: $17,120
• toyota corolla hybrid: $22,800
• tesla y: $50,000

how to calculate cumulative cost

1. year 1 cost = car price + 1 year of fuel cost
2. year 2 cost = car price + (2 × fuel cost)
3. year 3 cost = car price + (3 × fuel cost)

...and so on up to year 13
example for nissan versa

• annual fuel cost = (from table 1) $
• year 1 = $17,120 + $
• year 2 = $17,120 + (2 × $) = $
• year 3 = $17,120 + (3 × $) = $

fill in table 2

Explanation:

Step1: Determine annual fuel cost for each car

For Toyota Corolla Hybrid, it's already calculated as $\$969.58$ (from $12000\div47\times3.80$). For Tesla Y, it's $\$435.84$ (from $12000\times(75\div330)\times0.16$). But we don't have data to calculate for Nissan Versa, so we'll assume we need to fill in the known values for now.

Step2: Fill in Table 1

Nissan Versa: $\$ \text{unknown}$
Toyota Corolla Hybrid: $\$969.58$
Tesla Y: $\$435.84$

Step3: Calculate cumulative costs for each year for Nissan Versa example (assuming we had the annual fuel - cost value $x$)

Year 1: $17120 + x$
Year 2: $17120+(2\times x)$
Year 3: $17120+(3\times x)$

Answer:

Table 1:
Nissan Versa: $\$ \text{unknown}$
Toyota Corolla Hybrid: $\$969.58$
Tesla Y: $\$435.84$

For Nissan Versa cumulative cost examples (assuming annual fuel cost $x$):
Year 1: $17120 + x$
Year 2: $17120+(2\times x)$
Year 3: $17120+(3\times x)$
