Question

Gas costs $2.09 and you figure you will use 30 gallons on your trip with your two friends. You will stay 4 nights at a hotel (one room) for $98 a night, and spend $25 each per day on food for 5 days. What is the total cost of your trip?

Answer 1

Since you spend $35 per person (3 people), you spend $105 a day. For a week, multiply this by 7 to get $735.00 as your cost.

Explanation:

Your total cost = gas + hotel + food.

Gas = 2.09(30) = $62.70 (assuming this is all the gas you will use; not round-trip)

Hotel = 98(4) = $392.00

Food = 25(3)(4) = $300.00 (4 days of food)

Therefore, total = $754.70
