its 36+3.5+3.5=43 per night
43*3=129 for all 3 nights

Four people, price per night = 36 + 3.50*2
= 43
Three nights = 43*3
= 129
The first two people cost $36 per night. Each addition peson costs 3.50 per night. So, the total cost for each night is goin to be 36 (for the first two) + 3.50 (for the 3rd) + 3.50 (for the fourth), which comes to 43.
They are staying 3 nights, so multiply 43 by 3 to get 129.
Good luck!

$36.00 for the first two + $3.50 each for the next two=
$36 + 7 per night= $43 / night
$43 * 3 nights = $129

$36 + 3.50 + 3.50 ( that is four people; the one couple and two additional). The total of one night is $43
Now multiply by 3 nights: $43 x 3 = $129.

let's find the cost for 4 people stay in one night
36 dollars per night for 2 people. There are 4 people, that means the other people must each pay 3.50
36 + 2(3.5) = $43
since they stay for 3 nights, multiply the cost by 3
43 * 3 = $129
hope this helps

You are missing $14.
It is $ 43 a night for four people.
