Final answer:

The cost of 97 training sessions is $2364.00. The correct answer is B. $2394.34.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to find the cost of 97 training sessions given that 76 training sessions cost $1855. First, to find the cost per session, you would divide the total cost by the number of sessions: $1855 ÷ 76 training sessions = $24.41 per session.

Next, to find the cost for 97 sessions, you multiply the cost per session by the number of sessions: $24.41 × 97 = $2367.77. However, none of the options provided exactly match this result. Therefore, we need to check if there's been a rounding error or if there's additional information that may alter the cost per session.

To find the cost of 97 training sessions, we can set up a proportion using the given information. We know that 76 training sessions cost $1855, so the cost per training session can be found by dividing the total cost by the number of sessions: $1855/76 = $24.34.

Now we can use this cost per session to find the cost of 97 sessions: $24.34 x 97 = $2363.98. Rounding this to the nearest cent gives us an answer of $2364.00.
