1. **State the problem:** We need to determine which campground charges more per night and then find the cost for a four-night stay at that campground.
2. **Analyze Tallgrass Campground costs:** The table shows costs for different nights:
- 2 nights cost 26
- 3 nights cost 39
- 5 nights cost 65
Since the relationship is proportional, the cost per night is constant. Calculate cost per night:
$$\text{Cost per night} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of nights}}$$
Using 2 nights:
$$\frac{26}{2} = 13$$
Using 3 nights:
$$\frac{39}{3} = 13$$
Using 5 nights:
$$\frac{65}{5} = 13$$
All give $13$ per night.
3. **Analyze Carlson Campground costs:** The equation is given as:
$$y = 15x$$
Here, $y$ is the total cost for $x$ nights, so the cost per night is $15$.
4. **Compare costs per night:**
- Tallgrass: $13$ per night
- Carlson: $15$ per night
Carlson Campground charges more per night.
5. **Calculate cost for 4 nights at Carlson Campground:**
$$y = 15 \times 4 = 60$$
**Final answer:** Carlson Campground charges more per night, and the cost for a 4-night stay there is $60$.
