To determine the total amount paid for accommodation and meals at the guesthouse, we can use a systematic approach based on the provided costs and the assumptions of a 3-day trip for a family of 4 (2 adults + 2 children).
### Step-by-Step Solution
#### 5.1 Total Amount for Accommodation
1. Cost of accommodation per day per family: R1,050
2. Number of days of accommodation: 3 days
To find the total amount paid for accommodation, multiply the daily cost by the number of days:
[tex]\[ \text{Total Accommodation Cost} = \text{Cost per Day} \times \text{Number of Days} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total Accommodation Cost} = R1,050 \times 3 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total Accommodation Cost} = R3,150 \][/tex]
#### 5.3 Total Cost of Meals at the Guesthouse
1. Cost per meal per person:
- Breakfast: R60
- Lunch: R90
- Supper: R120
2. Number of people: 4 (2 adults and 2 children)
3. Number of days: 3 days
First, calculate the total cost for each type of meal for all days.
Total Breakfast Cost:
[tex]\[ \text{Total Breakfast Cost} = \text{Breakfast Cost per Person} \times \text{Number of People} \times \text{Number of Days} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total Breakfast Cost} = R60 \times 4 \times 3 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total Breakfast Cost} = R720 \][/tex]
Total Lunch Cost:
[tex]\[ \text{Total Lunch Cost} = \text{Lunch Cost per Person} \times \text{Number of People} \times \text{Number of Days} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total Lunch Cost} = R90 \times 4 \times 3 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total Lunch Cost} = R1,080 \][/tex]
Total Supper Cost:
[tex]\[ \text{Total Supper Cost} = \text{Supper Cost per Person} \times \text{Number of People} \times \text{Number of Days} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total Supper Cost} = R120 \times 4 \times 3 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total Supper Cost} = R1,440 \][/tex]
Finally, add up all the meal costs to find the total cost of meals:
[tex]\[ \text{Total Meal Cost} = \text{Total Breakfast Cost} + \text{Total Lunch Cost} + \text{Total Supper Cost} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total Meal Cost} = R720 + R1,080 + R1,440 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total Meal Cost} = R3,240 \][/tex]
### Summary of Calculations
- Total accommodation cost: R3,150
- Total cost of meals: R3,240
