Question

Mr. Poole spent 7 nights in a hotel. His employer paid the cost for 4 of the nights. Mr. Poole’s employer paid $356 toward his hotel stay. What was the total cost of all 7 nights in the hotel?

Answer 1

Since 4 nights cost $356, 356÷4=89, so one night costs $89. 7-4=3, so 89×3 is 267. 267+356 is 623. The total cost for 7 nights would be $623

Answer 2

The total is $559.4285
