Answer

$x=\dfrac{84}{m}$ where x is the cost of gas per mile. If 200 is substituted to $m$, the cost per mile is $\$0.42$.

Work Step by Step

The cost per mile is: $\dfrac{84}{m}$ Per indicates that we are dividing. If he drove a total of 200 miles on one full tank, then he paid: $\dfrac{84}{200}=0.42$ dollars per mile The answer makes sense since $200(0.42) = 84$.
