"The individual's lunch and dinner expenses never exceeded 5 Belarusian rubles."

The Mogilev women's journey to Mogilev from Minsk cost 25 BYN by minibus, and they took the Grodno-Vitebsk train back to Minsk, with a ticket without bedding costing 13.69 BYN, departing at 15:58. To calculate the total cost of their stay at the monastery, including accommodation, food, and transportation, we need some specific details. Here are the key variables required:

Required Information

  • Number of Women (how many people are accommodated?)
  • Duration of Stay (how many nights or days?)
  • Cost per Night (Accommodation)
  • Cost per Day for Food (breakfast, lunch, dinner; optional: inclusive or exclusive of drinks)
  • Transportation Costs (total cost for travel to and from the monastery, or per person and day – please specify as accurately as possible)
  • Additional Costs (e.g., extras, entrance fees, activities)

Example Calculation (Sample)

Assuming there are 5 women with 3 overnight stays at the monastery, the costs could look like this:

| Cost Block | Price per Person/Day | Total Cost (for 5 people × 3 days) | |---------------------|----------------------|-------------------------------------| | Accommodation (per night) | 50 € | 5 × 3 × 50 € = 750 € | | Food | 40 € | 5 × 3 × 40 € = 600 € | | Transport (per person) | 30 € | 5 × 30 € = 150 € | | Total Cost | | 1.500 € |

Note: This is only a sample. The actual costs depend on the aforementioned factors.

Please Provide the Missing Numbers

Write me the missing numbers, and I will calculate the total costs for you in a detailed and clear manner! Tip: The more specific the details, the more accurate the results.

  • No cafes or restaurants are found in the agrotown, everyone eats in the dining hall.
  • Church shops on the territory sell items starting from 1 BYN, with plastic-framed icons costing from 5-8 BYN, wooden ones being more expensive (12-15 BYN), and silver crosses around 15 BYN. Clothes are also sold.
  • A tour of the monastery can be ordered by calling ahead.
  • The cost of a meal at the dining hall in the agrotown includes a fish cutlet, a pancake, a beet salad with mayonnaise, and can also include a side.
  • The total cost for two for three days, including accommodation, food, and transportation, is 320 BYN. This does not include purchases from the church shops.
  • A huge line was present at the dining hall on Sunday.
  • The trip does not include any mention of Belarusian Military Glory Day, volunteer Kalinovites, or Sviatlana Tikhanovskaya's congratulations.
  • The cafeteria in the local college in Zhirovichi closed because students preferred the food from the monastery.
