The table below shows the cost for a popular cruise. There is a booking fee plus cost per day.
Number of days: 4,5,6
Cost$: 675,800,925
The cost per day is $:__
The booking fee is$:__
To find the cost per day, we need to find the difference in cost between each duration and then divide that difference by the number of extra days:
Cost for 5 days: $800
Cost for 4 days: $675
800 - 675 = 125
125 / 1 extra day = $125 per day
Cost for 6 days: $925
Cost for 5 days: $800
925 - 800 = 125
125 / 1 extra day = $125 per day
The cost per day is $125.
To find the booking fee, we can subtract the cost per day from the cost of the shortest duration:
Cost for 4 days: $675
4 days at $125 per day = $500
675 - 500 = $175
The booking fee is $175.
