B) Hotel 1: $512, Hotel 2: $580
C) Hotel 1: $555, Hotel 2: $512
D) Hotel 1: $672, Hotel 2: $504
E) Hotel 1: $580, Hotel 2: $512.

Answer 1

To determine the final price of the four-night reservation at each hotel, we need to calculate the discounted rates for each hotel and the derived answer will be A) Hotel 1: $512, Hotel 2: $555.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the final price of the four-night reservation at each hotel, we need to calculate the discounted rates for each hotel.

Hotel 1 charges $168 per night but offers a $40 discount per night. So, the discounted rate per night is $168 - $40 = $128.

Hotel 2 charges $185 per night but offers one night for free. So, the rate per night is $185, but we only have to pay for 3 nights instead of 4.

Therefore, the final price of the four-night reservation at Hotel 1 is $128 * 4 = $512, and the final price at Hotel 2 is $185 * 3 = $555.

So, the correct answer is option A) Hotel 1: $512, Hotel 2: $555.
