Question

Resort A charges $55.50 per night, plus a one-time surcharge of $100 a night, and Resort B charges $65.50 per night, plus a one-time surcharge of $50. What would the total cost be at that point?

Option 1: $377.50
Option 2: $266.50
Option 3: $433.00
Option 4: $322.00

Answer 1

To determine the total cost for one night at Resort A and Resort B, the per-night charge is added to the one-time surcharge for each. Resort A would be $155.50, and Resort B $115.50, totaling $271.00 for one night at both. However, this does not match any of the given options, indicating there might be an error in the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the total cost for staying one night at Resort A and Resort B, we need to add the per-night charge and the one-time surcharge for each.

For Resort A:
$55.50 (per night) + $100 (surcharge) = $155.50 total for one night.

For Resort B:
$65.50 (per night) + $50 (surcharge) = $115.50 total for one night.

The total cost for staying one night at both resorts together is the sum of the total costs for each resort:

$155.50 (Resort A) + $115.50 (Resort B) = $271.00.

However, this resulting sum is not listed as an option, so we need to clarify or correct the one-time surcharge for Resort A as it's possibly a typo that changed the context and possibly the correct answer.
