Question

A travel agent puts a deal together for 25 families who want to visit Disneyland over a long weekend. They agree to split the costs evenly so each family pays the same amount. Costs for 25 families for a 3-day long weekend trip to Disneyland are as follows:

3-day passes for 25 families: $2,500
3 days accommodation: $4,050
Airfares and ground transportation: $2,650
How much will each family have to pay? Show your work.

Answer 1

To determine the cost per family for a trip to Disneyland, we add the costs for passes, accommodation, and transportation, totaling $9,200. This total is then divided by the 25 families going on the trip, resulting in each family paying $368.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how much each family will have to pay for the trip to Disneyland, you need to add up all the costs and then divide by the number of families. The costs include $2,500 for 3-day passes, $4,050 for accommodation, and $2,650 for airfares and ground transportation.

The total cost is calculated as follows:

• 3-day passes: $2,500
• Accommodation: $4,050
• Airfares and ground transportation: $2,650

Adding these amounts together gives us the total cost:

$2,500 + $4,050 + $2,650 = $9,200

To find out how much each family has to pay, divide the total cost by the number of families:
$9,200 / 25 families = $368 per family
