To visit Chris or John, the total amount needed includes the debts owed: $3 to Chris and $5 to John, totaling $8. Additionally, transportation costs must be factored in, but the exact amount for transport is unspecified and depends on the mode of travel. The discussion highlights that the total expenditure varies based on the choice of whom to visit. Without knowing the transport cost, a precise total cannot be calculated. Therefore, the final amount required for the trip remains uncertain until the transport expenses are determined.
