Show the working
- One-way distance = 25
- Commute days per week = 5
- Commute weeks per year = 46
- Fuel use = 7
- Fuel price per litre = 1.8
- Parking, tolls, and fares per day = 8
- Annual distance = 25*2*5*46 = 11 500
- fuel_liters = 11 500*7/100 = 805
- Annual fuel cost = 805*1.8 = 1449
- Annual parking, tolls, and fares = 8*5*46 = 1840
- Annual commute cost = 1449+1840 = 3289
- Average weekly cost = 46>0?3289/46:0 = 71.5
Values are shown to six significant figures here; the arithmetic itself runs on exact fractions and is only rounded where a number is printed.
