Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\$400[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: A hotel charges a [tex]\$10000[/tex] annual fee plus an additional [tex]\$200[/tex] for each night you stay there.

TO FIND: average cost per night if you stay at the hotel for [tex]50[/tex] nights.

SOLUTION:

Annual fee charged by hotel [tex]=\$10000[/tex]

amount charged each night we stay there [tex]=\$200[/tex]

Total number of nights we stay [tex]=50[/tex]

Total amount paid for [tex]50[/tex] nights[tex]=50\times\$200[/tex]

                                                   [tex]=\$10000[/tex]

Total amount paid [tex]=\text{annual fee}+\text{total amount paid for 50 nights}[/tex]

                              [tex]=\$10000+\$10000[/tex]

                              [tex]=\$20000[/tex]

average cost per night [tex]=\frac{\text{total amount paid}}{\text{total number of nights of stay}}[/tex]

putting values,

average cost per night [tex]=\frac{20000}{50}[/tex]

                                      [tex]=\$400[/tex]

Hence average cost per night if we stay at hotel for [tex]50[/tex] days is [tex]\$400[/tex]
