Answer:

11 nights

Explanation:

Our total budget: $137

First, let's deduct the cost to enter the park.

137 - 5 = 132

We have $132 to spend on the hotel.

Since the cost is $12 per night, we need to find out how many times $12 can go into $132. This is done using division.

132 / 12 = 11

As we can see, we can pay $12 eleven times until our money runs out.

Thus, we can stay at the camp for 11 nights!
