help please

anonymous · Answer

$5.00 - $2.00 = $3.00.

The flat fee has been subtracted.

The remainder is $3.00

$3.00 / $0.50 = 6 additional nights.

anonymous · Answer

You have to figure out how many times $0.50 goes into the remaining number.

anonymous · Answer

so i will multiply .50*3.00

anonymous · Answer

No. She paid 50 cents for each additional night and she had 3 dollars.

Count all the 50 cents she used.
