Question

Carlita will visit 14 cities

Answer 1

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
