given information

• nissan versa (gas): 30 miles per gallon, gas = $3.80 per gallon
• toyota corolla hybrid (gas): 47 miles per gallon, gas = $3.80 per gallon
• tesla y (electric): 75 kwh per 330 miles, electricity = $0.16 per kwh
• miles driven per year: 12,000

step 1. nissan versa (gas)

1. gallons used per year = 12,000 / 30 = ____ gallons
2. annual fuel cost = gallons × $3.80 = $ ____

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate gallons used per year for Nissan Versa

The formula to find the gallons used per year is $\text{Gallons used}=\frac{\text{Miles driven}}{\text{Miles per gallon}}$. Given miles driven per year is $12000$ and miles per gallon is $30$. So, $\frac{12000}{30}=400$ gallons.

Step2: Calculate annual fuel cost for Nissan Versa

The formula for annual fuel - cost is $\text{Annual fuel cost}=\text{Gallons used}\times\text{Cost per gallon}$. We found gallons used is $400$ and cost per gallon is $\$3.80$. So, $400\times3.80 = 1520$ dollars.

Answer:

1. $400$
2. $1520$
