Connor went to New York for vacation. He spent 3 nights at a hotel and rented a car for 4 days. Jillian stayed at the same hotel, but spent 4 nights and rented a car for 5 days from the same company. If Connor paid $675 and Jillian paid $875, how much did one night at the hotel cost?
The answer for the question in problem would be $125 is the price of hotel per night. This is computed by establishing the equations from the given statements, 3x + 4y = 625 and 4x +5y = 875. And by substitution you would get the answer of 125 as the price per night n the hotel and 75 per day for the rental of car.
Answer:
The cost of one night at the hotel is $125
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of each night spend in hotel is = $x
Let the cost of each day of car rented = $y
Cannor spent 3 nights at a hotel and rented a car for 4 days paid $675.
\(\Rightarrow3x+4y=675\) ......(1)
Jillian also spent 4 nights in same hotel and rented a car for 5 days paid $875.
