Answer:
Total cost of the trip = 243 + 72x
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of airfare = $243
Amount spent per day = $72
Which expression can he use to help him find the cost of the trip?
Let
x = number of days spent in Alaska
Total cost of the trip = Cost of airfare + (Amount spent per day * number of days spent in Alaska)
= 243 + (72 * x)
= 243 + 72x
Total cost of the trip = 243 + 72x
If he spent 4 days on the trip
Total cost of the trip = 243 + 72x
= 243 + 72(4)
= 243 + 288
= $531
