Question

6) When ten people hire a boat for a week the cost per person is £56. Work out the
cost per person when the same boat is hired out to eight people.

Can someone solve this?

Answer 1

Answer:

£70

Step-by-step explanation:

There are ten people and each person pays £56 so the total cost will be 10x£56 = £560

The boat will be hired out for the same price (£560) and there are eight people this time, so £560 divided by 8 = £70. This means each person will pay £70.
