Answer for screen readers
The total amount spent by all the people is $5,165.
Steps to Solve
- Calculate the total cost for tickets to Country A
To find the total cost for the tickets to Country A, multiply the price of one ticket by the number of people who bought tickets.
The price of a ticket to Country A is $1,096 and 4 people bought tickets:
$$ \text{Total cost for Country A} = 4 \times 1,096 $$
- Calculate the total cost for tickets to Country B
Now, calculate the total cost for the tickets to Country B, again by multiplying the price of a ticket by the number of people who bought tickets.
The price of a ticket to Country B is $1,487 and 2 people bought tickets:
$$ \text{Total cost for Country B} = 2 \times 1,487 $$
- Add the total costs together
Now that we have the total costs for both countries, we need to add them together to find the overall expenditure.
$$ \text{Total spending} = \text{Total cost for Country A} + \text{Total cost for Country B} $$
The total amount spent by all the people is $5,165.
