Answer:

C-3,395

Explanation:

Since the main purpose of the travel was business (9 days of business against 7 days vacationing), Byron may deduct the expenses related to airfare, as well as 9 days of lodging ($140 per day) and meals ($115 per day) fees. His total expense deduction is:

[tex]E = 1,100+9*(140+115)\\E=3,395[/tex]

The answer is alternative C-3,395 .
