My project is to show when the Ford Escape SUV hybrid would be better for the environment. To set up the two equations I first have to decide how many miles the person drives a year and at what price per gallon I was going to use. The number of miles I choose was 13000 miles per year and the price of gas was $3.80 a gallon. Where T represents the total cost and Y as the number of years.
($3.80 per gallon)
T= 1453Y + 30570
T= 2352Y + 24870
T= 1453Y + 30570
T= 2352Y + 24870
To find out the Ford Escape XLT or the Ford Hybrid Escape is a better deal for the environment. The graph to the left show the cost of the the Ford Hybrid Escape which is the red line is the Hybrid and the green line is the Escape XLT. This graph is showing the cost of the Hybrid and the Escape XLT with gas at $3.80. The Hybrid Escape is better even way it is more you would save money over time.
