Problem Description:


The image shows a spreadsheet titled "Transportation Details," which tracks international and domestic flights for a trip. The task is to analyze the flight details, calculate costs, and ensure the data is accurate. The total flight costs are provided at the bottom of the sheet, but we need to verify if the calculations are correct.

Key Information from the Image:


1. International Flights:
- Three flights are listed:
1. Emirates (EK 220): New York to Cape Town with a layover in Dubai.
2. Emirates (EK 218): Mauritius to Cape Town with a layover in Dubai.
3. Air Mauritius (MR 201): Johannesburg to Mauritius.
- Costs per person for these flights are:
- EK 220: $1,215.00
- EK 218: $1,215.00
- MR 201: $387.00

2. Domestic Flights:
- One flight is listed:
- Mango Airlines (MG 261): Cape Town to Johannesburg.
- Cost per person for this flight is:
- $102.00

3. Total Flight Costs:
- The spreadsheet shows:
- Flight Costs Per Person: $1,704.00
- Total Flight Costs: $13,632.00

Task:


Verify the calculations for the total flight costs and explain the solution.

Solution:



#### Step 1: Calculate the Total Cost Per Person
To find the total cost per person, we sum the costs of all flights listed in the spreadsheet.

- International Flights:
- EK 220: $1,215.00
- EK 218: $1,215.00
- MR 201: $387.00

Total cost for international flights:
\[
1,215 + 1,215 + 387 = 2,817
\]

- Domestic Flights:
- MG 261: $102.00

Total cost for domestic flights:
\[
102
\]

- Total Cost Per Person:
\[
2,817 + 102 = 2,919
\]

However, the spreadsheet shows $1,704.00 as the total cost per person. This indicates a discrepancy. Let's investigate further.

#### Step 2: Verify the Total Flight Costs
The total flight costs are calculated by multiplying the total cost per person by the number of people traveling. The spreadsheet shows:
- Total Flight Costs: $13,632.00
- Flight Costs Per Person: $1,704.00

To find the number of people traveling, we use the formula:
\[
\text{Number of People} = \frac{\text{Total Flight Costs}}{\text{Flight Costs Per Person}}
\]
\[
\text{Number of People} = \frac{13,632}{1,704} = 8
\]

This means there are 8 people traveling.

#### Step 3: Reconcile the Discrepancy
The calculated total cost per person is $2,919, but the spreadsheet shows $1,704. This suggests that either:
1. Some flights are not included in the total cost per person calculation.
2. There is an error in the spreadsheet's calculation of the total cost per person.

Given the information, let's assume the spreadsheet's total flight costs ($13,632) are correct. We can reverse-engineer the total cost per person:
\[
\text{Total Cost Per Person} = \frac{\text{Total Flight Costs}}{\text{Number of People}}
\]
\[
\text{Total Cost Per Person} = \frac{13,632}{8} = 1,704
\]

This confirms that the spreadsheet's total flight costs are consistent with the number of people traveling, but the individual flight costs may not have been summed correctly in the "Flight Costs Per Person" cell.

Final Answer:


The total flight costs are correctly calculated as $13,632.00 for 8 people, with each person paying $1,704.00. However, the individual flight costs per person do not add up to $1,704.00 based on the provided data. The discrepancy likely lies in how the "Flight Costs Per Person" was calculated.
