Answer:

Total costs: $151.22

Cost per mile: $2.2238

Explanation:

Cost of hiring a truck per day = $45

Added cost per mile will be = $0.79 x 68

The collision waiver costs = $25.00

Diesel fuel  costs = $27.50

Total costs will be

= $45 + $53.72 +$25 + $27.50

=$151.22

The cost per mile will be the total costs divided by miles covered

=$151.22/68

=$2.2238 per miles
