The Ramos family of 4 is estimating the cost of a planned trip that includes 4 round-trip airline tickets (each consisting of 2 nonstop flights—one to their destination and the other back home) and 1 hotel room for the 6 days/nights at their destination.
While at their destination, they can use public transportation, which they estimate will cost a total of $200, or they can rent a car. If they rent a car for the
6 days, they will be charged a total of $150 for parking at the hotel in addition to paying the daily rental fee for the car for each of the 6 days. Also, if and only if they rent a car, the 2 children will each need to be buckled into an appropriate child safety seat, which the Ramos family can take with them or rent for a separate fee where they rent the car. They are not including any estimated gasoline costs in their planning.
They plan to take a total of 3 suitcases on each of the nonstop flights, and each suitcase will be checked as a separate baggage item for each nonstop flight. If they take their own child safety seats, then each seat will be checked as a separate baggage item, and they will check a total of 5 baggage items on each flight.

Q1. We need to calculate the difference between estimated costs if they use public transportation and if they rent ONLY a car.
While renting the car we need to decide whether to rent the child safety seats or to carry them with the flight baggage paying money for 2 additional baggage items.
It is mentioned that the family rents ONLY a car which means they are not renting child safety seats.
So they are carrying the seats with them. In this case according to 'Trip plans' tab, last line: If they take their own child safety seats, then they will check a total of 5 baggage items on each flight.
Airline Costs tab: A5 airline child safety seat baggage fee=$25x4=$100 [2 child safety seats will be carried while going on the trip and will be carried back home on A5 so, 25x4]
Based on the lowest daily car rental fees(excluding child safety seat charges), the family would pick company C2.
6 days car rent=27x6=$162
Parking charge=$150
Total car renting charge=$100+$162+$150=$412
Public transportation costs $200
The required difference=$412-$200=$212 (Option C)
