Answer 1

After calculating each of Virginia's expenses (car rental and gasoline, meals, and hotel stays), the total monthly travel expenses amount to $2019.93.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total travel expenses for Virginia Woolf for the month can be calculated by adding her car rental and gasoline costs, meal costs, and hotel bills for various nights stayed.

• Car rental and gasoline: $884.03
• Meals: $219.40
• Hotel (2 nights at resort hotels at $175/night): 2 * $175 = $350
• Hotel (1 night at the suites at $85.90/night): $85.90
• Hotel (4 nights at the East Inn at $119.90/night): 4 * $119.90 = $479.60

Now, we add up all these expenses to find the total:

Total = $884.03 + $219.40 + $350 + $85.90 + $479.60

Total = $2019.93

Therefore, Virginia's total travel expenses for the month are $2019.93.
