HELP!!!!! meeeeeejejsjss

Answer 1

`3600`

Explanation:

One is asked to find the cost of a vacation when given the following information;

Travel: 150

Hotel: 50 per day

Spending money: 250

One is asked to calculate the cost of the vacation for (4) people over the course of (7) days. In order to solve this problem, one must make a few assumptions.

- Each cost is per person, therefore one will have to multiply the cost by the number of people.

- The travel is per every one time, thus one will have to multiply it by (2) to account for the cost to travel back home.

- Everyone stays in their own hotel room, therefore, one must multiply the hotel cost by the number of people

- The spending money is for the entire vacation and not per day.

With these assumptions, one can form the following equaton;

x = number of people = 4

y = number of days = 7

`travel\ cost= (2(x(150))\\\\hotel\ cost= (y(x(50))\\\\spending\ money= (x(250))\\\\total\ cost= (travel\ cost)+(hotel\ cost) + (spending\ money)`

Substitute,

`total\ cost= (travel\ cost)+(hotel\ cost) + (spending\ money)`

`total\ cost= 2(4(150))+(7(4(50))+(4(250))`

Simplify,

`total\ cost= 2(4(150))+(7(4(50))+(4(250))`

`total\ cost= 2(600)+(7(4(50))+(4(250))\\=2(600)+7(200)+4(250)\\=2(600)+7(200)+1000\\=2(600)+1400+1000\\=1200+1400+1000\\=2600+1000\\=3600`
