Is your friend correct?

Answer 1

Answer:

If camping for 4 nights, you should either of them since they cost the same. However, if camping for more than 4 nights, you should choose Forest park since it would be cheaper than Woodland.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  compare total price for 4 nights in each campground;

Forest park= 100+(4*35)= $240

Woodland= 20+(4*55)= $240

Therefore, if camping for 4 nights, you should choose either of the two because they cost the same.

Step 2: compare total price for camping more than 4 nights in each campground;

Assume you plan to stay for 6 nights

Forest park= 100+(6*35)= $310

Woodland= 20+(6*55)= $350
