Answer: $100
Explanation:
Since the person drives 10,000 miles per year, at 20 miles per gallon of gasoline (mpg ), then the number of gallons used for the year will be:
= 10000/20
= 500 gallons
Since the Federal gas tax is 20 cents/gallon, then the amount contributed by the driver to the Federal Trust Fund will be:
= 20cents × 500
= 10000 cents
Since 100 cents = $1
Then, 10000 cents will be:
= 10000/100
= $100
