Answer
To find the kilometres driven in 2021, we know that it was 18% more than the kilometres driven in 2020. We have established from part (a) that the kilometres driven in 2020 is 2800 km.
Calculating 18% more:
2021extkm=2800+(0.18×2800)=2800+504=3304extkm
Thus, the number of kilometres driven in 2021 is 3304 km.
