First - you DEFINE a 'passenger mile'.

Then you define over what period the cost is to be calculated.

Then you define what constitutes a 'cost'.

Then you define the class of vehicles to be embraced in 'flown'.

After that, it's pretty easy. Do I need to go on?

say 200 people are on a plane trip for 300 miles. It cost the airline $5,000 for this flight. First find passenger miles: 200 x 300 = 60,000. Then divide the cost by passenger miles: 5,000 / 60,000 = $0.08, so it cost the airline 8 cents to send 1 passenger 1 mile. i made up the cost, by the way. i have no idea what it actually costs, just an example.
