Answer 1

To calculate the total cost for parking plus the cost per person, you can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Total Cost} = \text{Parking Fee} + (\text{Cost per Person} \times \text{Number of People})
\]

Given:
- Parking Fee = $30
- Cost per Person = $18

Now, let's calculate the total cost for each scenario:

1. **For 1 person**:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 30 + (18 \times 1) = 30 + 18 = 48
\]

2. **For 2 people**:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 30 + (18 \times 2) = 30 + 36 = 66
\]

3. **For 3 people**:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 30 + (18 \times 3) = 30 + 54 = 84
\]

Now, here's the completed table:

| Number of People | Cost |
|------------------|------|
| 1 | $48 |
| 2 | $66 |
| 3 | $84 |
