First, we will find 20% of the cost of the car which is $20,000.
Thus, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 20\text{\% of 20,000} \\ \Rightarrow\frac{20}{100}\times20000 \\ \Rightarrow\text{ \$4000} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Adding the $4000 to the other expenses provided in the table:
[tex]4000+425+400+110+100=\text{ \$5035}[/tex]
To get the cost per mile, we are going to divide the total cost of $5035 by the number of mies, 10,000.
Thus, we have:
[tex]\frac{5035}{10000}=\text{ \$0.50 per mile}[/tex]
Hence, the correct option is Option D
