Question

Ayden is planning a trip to Europe. Her plane ticket costs $5000 and she has budgeted $60 per day for food and expenses. Her total budget for the trip is $12,200. How many days can Ayden stay in Europe and not go over budget?

Answer 1

36.66 recurring

Explanation:

5000+5000= 10,000 for the total plane tickets cost (to Europe, and back to home)

so 12,200-10,000= $2,200

2,200/60 = 36.6666667 days

Answer 2

120 days

Explanation:

Maximum number of days can be calculated as:

(It is assumed that plane ticket is two way and not causing restriction for return)

• 5000 + 60*x = 12200
• 60x = 12200 - 5000
• 60x = 7200
• x = 7200/60
• x = 120 days
