To determine Craig's total pay for the day he drove 527 miles, we need to follow these steps:
1. Identify the number of miles Craig drove in a day. According to the information provided, Craig drove 527 miles.
2. Next, determine Craig's pay rate per mile. Craig gets paid \[tex]$0.54 for every mile he drives.
3. To find Craig's total pay for the day, we multiply the number of miles driven by the pay rate per mile.
This can be represented mathematically as:
\[
\text{Total Pay} = \text{Miles Driven} \times \text{Pay per Mile}
\]
4. Substitute the given values into the formula:
\[
\text{Total Pay} = 527 \times 0.54
\]
5. Performing the multiplication, we get:
\[
527 \times 0.54 = 284.58000000000004
\]
Therefore, Craig's total pay for driving 527 miles in a day is \$[/tex]284.58.
