Answer 2

The answer is: Detroit $196.87

Step-by-step explanation:

We first must add the cost of visiting the five cities:

Detroit $196.87

Pittsburgh $180.32

St. Paul $102.87

Cincinnati $155.81

Richmond $211.86

Total cost $847.73

Then we find what is the difference between the total cost and the road trip budget: $847.73 - $652 = $195.73

The cheapest city that Richard can drop is Detroit, by doing so his total expenses will be $650.86, which is below his budget.
