Answer:

[tex]Cost = 112.266[/tex] cent/km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Unit\ cost = R17.82/litre[/tex]

[tex]Rate = 6.3litre/100km[/tex]

Required

The fuel cost in [tex]cent\ per\ km[/tex]

This is calculated using:

[tex]Cost = Unit\ cost * Rate[/tex]

[tex]Cost = R17.82/litre * 6.3litre/100km[/tex]

[tex]Cost = R17.82 * 6.3/100km[/tex]

[tex]Cost = R1.12266/km[/tex]

Multiply by [tex]100[/tex] to get the cost in cents

[tex]Cost = 1.12266 * 100[/tex] cent/km

[tex]Cost = 112.266[/tex] cent/km
