Answer:
A. 2x + 150y = 1,500
2x + 120y = 1,320
The flights were $300 each, and they stayed 6 nights.
B. $1,380
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the cost of the flight (in one side) and y be the number of nights on their vacation.
A. Brenda had a fancy room for $150 per night, then she paid $150y for y nights. Brenda's total is $1,500, then
Brenda's friend had a smaller room for $120 per night, then she paid $120y for y nights. Brenda's friend total is $1,320, then
Subtract two equations:
Substitute into the first equation:
Hence
2x + 150y = 1,500
2x + 120y = 1,320
The flights were $300 each, and they stayed 6 nights.
B. If a third friend joined them and stayed in a mid-range room for $130 per night, then he paid
The total cost is
