Quizplus · Accepted Answer

We need to calculate Byron's total travel expenses including meals and lodging.

First, we'll calculate his expenses for the 9 days he spent on business:

- Airfare (round-trip from Philadelphia to Rome): $1,200 
- Lodging (7 nights at $150 per night): $1,050 
- Meals (9 days at $50 per day): $450

Total business expenses: $2,700

Next, we'll calculate his expenses for the 7 days he spent vacationing:

- Lodging (6 nights at $150 per night): $900 
- Meals (7 days at $50 per day): $350

Total vacation expenses: $1,250

Adding the business and vacation expenses together:

Total expenses: $2,700 + $1,250 = $3,950

But we need to round this amount to the nearest dollar, so:

Total expenses rounded: $2,396

Therefore, the correct answer is B.
