Three nurses attended a seminar for two days. The travel expenses for each nurse were $982. Additional expenses per nurse per day are listed. Find the total training costs.

Release time: $320
Instruction: $85
Meal Expense: $100
Supplies: $425

Should I multiply each individual number by 3 for three nurses and then add it all up and multiply by 2 for two days? I keep getting the wrong answer. Can someone help me? :)

The 982 needs to only be multiplied by 3 not by two also because there is only one travel expense for the whole trip.

my bad, I misread 982 as the total travel expense

anonymous · Answer

I got $8526 as an answer, what are you getting?

You can just add up the "additional expenses", multiply that by 2 (for the 2 days) and then multiply that by 3 (for the 3 nurses)  

Then multiply 982 by 3 (for 3 nurses) and all the numbers up
