To find the number of more miles Mr. Roberts would need to drive this year so that the total number of miles driven is the same as last year, we need to subtract the number of miles driven this year from the number of miles driven last year.
Total number of miles driven last year = 32,456 miles
Miles driven this year = 25,193 miles
Total number of more miles needed to reach the same as last year = 32,456 - 25,193 = 7,263 miles
Therefore, Mr. Roberts would need to drive 7,263 more miles this year.
