$391.50


$402.50


$394.50


$392.50

Answer 1

To find the total cost of the flight from Seattle to Austin, add the costs of each leg of the journey:

1. Seattle to Boise: $137.50
2. Boise to Wichita: $92.50
3. Wichita to Austin: $162.50

Now do the addition:

1. First, add the first two flights:
\(137.50 + 92.50 = 230.00\)

2. Then, add the cost of the last leg:
\(230.00 + 162.50 = 392.50\)

So, the total cost of the flight from Seattle to Austin is **$392.50**.

Thus, the answer is **$392.50**.
