The correct answer is B. $ 1,649

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Miles per year Eric drives = 16,000

Cost of gallon of gas = $ 2.99

Miles per gallon Eric gets = 29

2. How much does Eric spend  on gas per year?

1. Let's find our the number of gallons of gas Eric spends per year:

Number of gallons = Miles per year Eric drives/Miles per gallon Eric gets

Replacing with the real values, we have:

Number of gallons = 16,000/29

Number of gallons = 551.72

2. Let's calculate the cost of 551.72 gallons of gas:

Cost = Number of gallons Eric spends per year * Cost of gallon of gas

Cost = 551.72 * 2.99

Cost = $ 1,649.64

The correct answer is B. $ 1,649

c is the final : )
