Answer:
$52091.95
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information:
The number of cities visited = 14
Cost of each cooking demonstration = $3450
The total cost of cooking demonstration = $3450 × 14
= $48300
Book signing material = $1475
∴
The total cost of cooking demonstration and book material is:
= $48300 + $1475 = $49775 ---- (i)
Total meter traveled in visiting 14 cities = 240 * 13 = 3120 miles
However; suppose the weekly rental fee fine = $x &
the change per mile = $y
Then
y*540 + x = 1188.15 --- (ii)
y*880 + x = 1310.55 --- (iii)
From equation (ii) and (iii)
y *340 = 122.4
y = 122.4/340
y = 0.36
From (ii)
y × 540 + x = 1188.15
(0.36)540 + x = 1188.15
x = 1188.15 - (0.36)540
x = 993.75
Hence, the total cost of travelling by RV camper = $1993.75 + 3120 × (0.36)
= $2116.95
Thus, the total amount the publisher should budget = $49975.0 + $2116.95
= $52091.95
