Respuesta :

The total cost for the safari tour for the Shaw family is $12.75 with a vehicle cost of $5.25 and an additional amount per head of $2.5.

let us say the additional amount for each person = Z

it is given that

cost of the tour per vehicle = $5.25

number of family members in Skubic family = 7

number of family members in Shaw family = 3

total cost = $22.75

what will be the total cost for each family?

the total cost will be the sum of the additional amount for all and vehicle cost.

Total cost for Skubic family

7z + 5.25 = 22.75(given)

7z= 17.5

z=$2.5

total cost for Shaw family = 3z+5.25 = 3*2.5+5.25 = $12.75

therefore, the total cost for the Shaw family is $12.75
