Answer 1

The total cost of Ben and Leah's 4-day trip to Alaska, including flights, food, rental car, hotel, airport parking, and extra expenses, is $2,622.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total cost of Ben and Leah's 4-day trip to Alaska, we need to add up all the expenses. Let's break it down:

• Flights: $400 per person, so for both it would be $800.
• Food: $8 per meal per person, and since there are 3 meals a day for 4 days, that would be $8 x 3 x 4 = $96 per person. So for both, it would be $96 x 2 = $192.
• Rental car: $45 per day, so for 4 days it would be $45 x 4 = $180.
• Hotel: $190 per night, so for 4 nights it would be $190 x 4 = $760.
• Airport parking: $25 per day, so for 4 days it would be $25 x 4 = $100.
• Extra expenses: $90 for gas and $500 for tours and souvenirs.

Adding all these up, the total cost of their vacation would be:

$800 (flights) + $192 (food) + $180 (rental car) + $760 (hotel) + $100 (airport parking) + $90 (gas) + $500 (tours and souvenirs) = $2,622.
