The total budget for her trip is $973.39

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of guide book = 216.41 R

The cost of walking shoes = 702.33 R

The car rental = 996.78 R

Plane ticket = 3741.85 R

Total cost = 5657.37 R

Money spent for Passport = $71.75

Money spent for hotel reservation = $138.10

Total money in dollars = $209.85

Exchange rate of US dollars to South African rands = 1: 7.4094

5657.37 R = 5657.37/7.4094

= $763.539

Total budget = 763.54 + 209.85

= $973.39

The total budget for her trip is $973.39
