$131\times 5=655$

2.Hotel accommodation for 7 days:

$380.17*7=2661.19$

3.Food in the city:

average check per person in one day (breakfast, lunch, dinner):

=8.95+9.95+4.25+7.95+7.95+7.95=47,

$47*5*7=1645$

4.Entertainment in the city:

First two days just walks in new york:

Brooklyn Bridge, Times Square, Wall Street, Soho District, New York Public Library, Central Station, Brooklyn Botanical Garden

Statue of Liberty:

$18\times5=90$

Metropolitan Museum:

$25\times5=125$

The Museum of Modern Art

$25\times5=125$

Museum of Memory 9/11

$24\times5=120$

Rockefeller Center

$52\times5=260$

5. New York Boston plane ticket:

$135*5=675$

Total costs: 655+2661.19+1645+90+125+125+120+260+675=6356.19

Total cost per person

$\frac{6356.19}{5}=1271.24$
