    $2,550\$2,550
  3. C
    $2,645\$2,645
  4. D
    $3,345\$3,345

Answer

The total fee the group must pay is $2,295\$2,295.
The correct answer is the option stating $2,295\$2,295. Because the group consists of 33 students registering on June 1212 (before the June 1515 deadline), they qualify for the 10%10\% discount on the basic tuition of $850\$850. This reduces the individual tuition to $765\$765. Multiplying this by 33 gives a total of $2,295\$2,295 since they did not request accommodation.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Determine if the group qualifies for the discount by evaluating group size and registration date.
The group has 33 students, which meets the requirement of 33 or more, and they register on June 1212, 20262026, which is before the June 1515, 20262026 deadline. Thus, they qualify for the 10%10\% discount.
To verify whether the promotional discount applies to their transaction.
2
Calculate the discounted tuition fee per student.
The discounted fee per student is $850(0.10×$850)=$765\$850 - (0.10 \times \$850) = \$765.
To find the cost of tuition for each student under the group promotion.
3
Calculate the total cost for the group of 33 students, excluding lodging.
The total cost is 3×$765=$2,2953 \times \$765 = \$2,295. Since they do not select lodging, no additional fees are added.
To find the final amount the group must pay in their single transaction.
