Question

Rachel is going on vacation. She is trying to figure out how much money to bring along. She plans to spend $120 on hotels, $45 on gas for her car, and $65 on food. she is also going to go to an amusement park twice. Tickets to the amusement park cost $30 per day. If she wants to have 30 left in her wallet after the trip is over, how much money should she bring?

Answer 1

She should bring $320. 120+45+65+30x2+30=320. 120 is on hotels. 45 is about gas for the car. 65 is on food. The ticket price a day is $30, and if Rachel is going twice, then it is 30x2, or 30+30.

Answer 2

Rachel should bring along $320.

Explanation:

Rachel plans to spend $120 on hotels, $45 on gas for her car, and $65 on food.

She is also going to go to an amusement park twice. Tickets to the amusement park cost $30 per day.

So, total amount becomes:

`120+45+65+2(30)=290` dollars

Now, she wants to have $30 left in her wallet after the trip is over.

So, in total she must bring along
`290+30=320` dollars.
