attended the conference in San Francisco and paid $$400$ for the registration fee. She drove $122$

miles over the course of three days and paid $$111$ for parking at the conference hotel. In addition,

she spent $$595$ for breakfast and dinner over the three days of the conference. She bought

breakfast on the way to the conference hotel, and she bought dinner on her way home each night

from the conference. What amount of these costs can Melissa deduct as business expenses?
