Question

After looking through different hotel options, Gabriela and Luis decided to estimate a budget of $1,200 for
hotel costs. They want to stay 6 nights at a hotel. In addition, they know they should plan to pay $240 in
taxes and tips. Let c represent the total cost per night they should plan for the hotel.

Answer 1

According to the information given, the equation that represents the situation is:

$6c - 1200 = 240$

The total costs are:

• $240 in taxes and trips.
• 6 nights at the hotel, each night with a cost of c, hence 6c

Then:

$T = 6c + 240$

The budget is of $1200, hence, since the total cost is equals to the budget:

$T = 1200$

$6c + 240 = 1200$

Rearranging:

$6c - 1200 = 240$
