They are going to watch a baseball game, which will cost $38.00 per person. Estimate the total cost of the trip to New York.

Answer 1

The estimated total cost of the trip to New York for Josh and his 7 friends is $6,552.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

To estimate the total cost of the trip to New York, we need to consider the cost of the round-trip flight, hotel rooms, observatory deck, and baseball game for all 7 friends.

1. The round-trip flight costs $389.00 per person, so for 8 people it would be 8 * $389.00 = $3,112.00.
2. Two people will be staying in each hotel room, and each room costs $249.00 per night. Since they are staying for 3 nights, the total cost for hotel rooms would be 8 * ($249.00/2) * 3 = $2,988.00.
3. The visit to the Empire State Building observatory deck costs $18.50 per person, so for 8 people it would be 8 * $18.50 = $148.00.
4. The baseball game costs $38.00 per person, so for 8 people it would be 8 * $38.00 = $304.00.

Adding up all the costs, the estimated total cost of the trip to New York for Josh and his friends would be $3,112.00 + $2,988.00 + $148.00 + $304.00 = $6,552.00.
