Answer 1

Answer:

Option D. 2,622

Explanation:

We have the following costs:

Flights = $400 per person

Food = $8 per meal per person

Car rental = $45 per day

Hotel costs = $190 per night

Airport parking = $25 per day

Gas = $90

Tours and souvenirs = $500

We calculate as follows:

Daily costs = (($8/meal x 3 meals/day x 2 people) + $45 + $190 + $25) = $308 daily costs

Total costs = ($400 x 2) + 90 + 500 + (308 x 4 days)

Total costs = 800 + 90 + 500 + 1,232 = $2,622.

Answer 2

Answer:

D) $2,622

Explanation:

Daily costs

= ($8/meal x 3 meals/day x 2 people) + $45 + $190 + $25) = $308 daily costs

Total costs

= ($400 x 2) + 90 + 500 + (308 x 4 days)

Hence:

Total costs = 800 + 90 + 500 + 1,232

= $2,622
