Answer

a) i) C=0.04$x$ ii) C= 0.12$x$ b) i) $400 ii) $1200

Work Step by Step

a) i) Let the energy cost be C in dollars. To find the energy cost, it's the cost of one mile multiplied by how many miles you're traveling divided by 100cents to find the cost in dollars. C=$\frac{4x}{100}$ C= $0.04x$ ii) Let the energy cost be C in dollars. C=$\frac{12x}{100}$ C=$0.12x$ b) i) $0.04\times10000$=$400$ ii) $0.12\times10000=$$1200
