Answer 1

Total amount reimbursed / Total daily budget ;

7 days

Explanation:

Given the following :

Amount reimbursed = $1,750

Amount paid for food and lodging = $150/ day

Amount paid for gas = $100 / day

A) Equation to get the number of days on the trip:

Total amount reimbursed / Total daily budget

B.) Total daily budget = $(150 + 100) = $250/ day

Number of days :

(Total amount reimbursed / Total daily budget)

($1,750 / $250)

= 7 days
