Final answer:

To calculate the total expenses of Jill and Frank for their long weekend in New York, we need to consider the costs of the hotel and the car rental. The hotel costs $79.95 per person per night, but they receive credits toward dinner and breakfast. The car rental cost includes daily fees and the cost of gas used. The total expenses for Jill and Frank amount to $174.37.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total expenses of Jill and Frank, we need to consider the costs of the hotel and the car rental. Let's break it down:

  1. The hotel costs $79.95 per person per night for a minimum of two nights. So, the total hotel cost per person is $79.95 x 2 = $159.90.
  2. Jill and Frank will also receive a $50 credit toward their dinners at City's Skylight Restaurant, which reduces the total hotel cost to $159.90 - $50 = $109.90.
  3. In addition, they will receive a $3.99 credit per person toward breakfast for two each morning. So, the total hotel cost per person after considering the breakfast credit is $109.90 - $3.99 = $105.91.
  4. Now, let's calculate the car rental cost. The car rental agency charges $19.95 per day and an additional $0.22 per mile. Since they are renting the car for two days, the total car rental cost for two days is $19.95 x 2 = $39.90. They also need to consider the cost of gas used, which is $1.19 per gallon and the gas tank holds 24 gallons. So, the total cost of gas used is $1.19 x 24 = $28.56.

Finally, to calculate the total expenses for Jill and Frank, we add the hotel cost per person ($105.91) and the car rental cost ($39.90 + $28.56) = $105.91 + $68.46 = $174.37.

Answer:

$560.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Hotel: 79.95*2*2=$319.8

Dinner: 182-50=$132

Breakfast:

  • 24.17+26.88=$51.05
  • 51.05-3.99*4=$35.09

Rental:

  • 19.95*2=$39.9
  • 4940-4820=120 120*0.22=$26.4
  • 1/2=2/4 3/4-2/4=1/4 ---> so they used 1/4 of the tank which is 1/4*24=6 6*1.19=$7.14
  • 39.9+26.4+7.14=$73.44

Hotel+dinner+breakfast+rental: 319.8+132+35.09+73.44=$560.33
