Question

A hotel charges $120 for the first night and $100 per night for additional charges. If Vivian spend $420 at the hotel, how many nights did she stay?

Answer 1

Vivian stays at the hotel for 4 days

Answer 2

Answer:  n = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's denote the number of additional nights Vivian stayed as n. The total cost Vivian paid for staying n additional nights can be expressed as:

Total Cost = Cost of the First Night + Cost of Additional Nights

Given that the cost of the first night is $120 and the cost per additional night is $100, we can write the equation:

420 = 120 + 100n

Now solve for n:

100n = 420 − 120

100n = 300

n = 300/100

n = 3
