Hanna Welch · Answer 1

Answer: B: $636.39

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of the trip = $954.59

Cost of coming back = $954.59

Total cost of trip = $954.59 + $954.59 = $1909.59

For each of them, since the cost would be split equally amongst them,

1909.18/3 = $636.39

The cost Alex would have to pay is $636.39
