Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!

Forest Park Campgrounds charges a $100 membership fee plus $35 per night. Woodland Campgrounds charges a $20 membership fee plus $55 per night. Your friend says that if you plan to camp for four or more nights, then you should choose Woodland Campgrounds. Is your friend correct? Explain.

Answer 1

For 4 nights stay we can stay in any campgrounds, but for more than 4 nights we should prefer Forest park Campgrounds.

Explanation:

Forest park Campgrounds charges a membership fees = $100

and charges per night = $35

Charges for 4 nights stay

Total charges for 4 nights = 100 + 35×4

= 100 + 140

= $240

Charges for 5 nights stay = 100 + 35×5

= 100 + 175

= $275

Woodland Campground charges a membership fees = $20

and charges per night = $55

Charges for 4 nights stay = $20 + $55×4

= 20 + 220

= $240

Charges for 5 nights stay = 20 + 55×5

= 20 + 275

= $295

Therefore, for 4 nights stay we can stay in any campgrounds because charges for both are same for 4 nights.

But for more than 4 nights we should stay in Forest park Campgrounds because Forest park charges less than other campgrounds.
