Question

Kevin is calculating his expenses for his planned trip to Colombia. He has a total budget of $2,106,559 (2,106,559 Colombian pesos) for this trip. If his lodging will cost him $313,597, his plane ticket will cost him $891,922, a Spanish/English phrasebook costs him $91,438, and he has allocated $348,792 for food, how much does he have remaining for spending money and other miscellaneous expenses?

Answer 1

He would have $460,810 left over for spending. 

Answer 2

Given, for a trip to Colombia, Kevin has a total budget of $2106559.

The cost for lodging = $313597

The cost for plane ticket = $891922

The cost for Spanish/ English phrasebook = $91438

The cost for food = $348792.

So to find the total we have to find the sum of the costs.

Total cost = $
`(313597+891922+91438+348792)` = $1645749.

We have to find the remaining amount of money. To get that we have to subtract the total cost from the total budget.

The remaining amount of money = $(
`2106559 - 1645749`)

= $460810

So we have got the required answer.

The remaining amount of money for spending and other miscellaneous expenses = $460810.
