- Calculate the total amount spent on petrol over three years, which is Tk. 6460 per year multiplied by 3:
Total spent = Tk. 6460/year * 3 years = Tk. 19380
- Calculate the total amount of petrol purchased over three years. To do this, divide the total amount spent by the cost per liter for each year:
For the first year: Tk. 19380 / Tk. 17/liter = approximately 1140 liters For the second year: Tk. 19380 / Tk. 19/liter = approximately 1020 liters For the third year: Tk. 19380 / Tk. 20/liter = approximately 969 liters
- Add up the total liters of petrol purchased over three years:
Total liters = 1140 liters + 1020 liters + 969 liters = 3129 liters
- Calculate the average cost per liter by dividing the total amount spent by the total liters purchased:
Average cost per liter = Tk. 19380 / 3129 liters ≈ Tk. 18.58/liter
So, the average cost per liter is approximately Tk. 18.58.
