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 |
