The relationship for cost per mile (P) in terms of total cost (C) and total miles (M) can be represented algebraically as:
P=C/M
Where:
- P represents the cost per mile.
- C represents the total cost.
- M represents the total miles.
This equation states that the cost per mile is calculated by dividing the total cost (C) by the total miles (M).
