They also have a neighborhood pool and sand volleyball court in the area with free access. They want to include exactly two activities per day that are physically active and no more than two activities per day at the beach. They also want to include no more than two events per day costing more than $5.00 per person. There are four family members: two adults and two children.

RahulJain293 · Answer

IMO
Either day = Sunbathing at the beach
Neither day = hot air balloon ride

In the table below, select the activity that could be added to the schedule for either day, and then select the activity that could not be added for either day. Make only two selections, one in each column.

Either day:
 Since sunbathing is the only non-physical activity, we can slot it in on either day.

Neither day: 
Since daily budget is 300 and hot air balloon would cost 320$ (80*4 people), we should NOT have it for either day.

$!vakumar.m · Answer

In the table below, select the activity that could be added to the schedule for either day, and then select the activity that could not be added for either day. Make only two selections, one in each column.

Either day 
From the tentative schedule, we can note that we can include only a normal activity at the beach (as per the constraints given)
So, only "  sunbathing at the beach  " can be included.

Neither day 
From the tentative schedule, we note that they have already included two events costing more than $5 per person.
Hence, "  Hot air balloon ride costing $80 per person  " cannot be included.

Sajjad1994 · Answer

Official Explanation

The correct answers are making ice cream on either day and the hot air balloon ride on neither day.

Homemade ice cream could be made on either day, because it is free and does not involve physical activity or the beach. The hot air balloon ride could not be scheduled for either day, because it would exceed the daily budget, and both days already have two activities costing more than $5 per person.

Swimming, sunbathing, tennis, and water skiing could be scheduled for Day One, but not Day Two. Day Two already has two physical activities and two activities at the beach.

Answer:
  Either day: Make homemade ice cream—Free
Neither day: Hot air balloon ride—$80 per person
