The transport cost is estimated to be 10400,which includes the trip to Cape Town, toll fees and for the return trip back. Determine how much it will cost to cover the expenses for the trip to Cape Town and back home

Answer 1

To calculate the total expenses for the Makau family's trip to Cape Town, we need to consider both accommodation and transport costs.

1. Accommodation Costs:

   • Cost per night: R1630
   • Duration: 6 nights (from Sunday night to Saturday night)

   Total accommodation cost = Cost per night × Number of nights \[ \text{Total accommodation cost} = 1630 \times 6 = R9780 \]

2. Transport Costs:

   • Total transport cost is given as R10400.

3. Total Expenses:

   • Total expenses = Total accommodation cost + Total transport cost \[ \text{Total expenses} = 9780 + 10400 = R20180 \]

Therefore, the total cost for the Makau family's trip to Cape Town and back home will be R20180.
