Kayce and her friends are renting a summer house together. The eight friends will spend 6 days at this house. The overall cost is $1260.69. Two of her friends are only staying two days. How can we determine how much everyone pays separately?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: First you would do this 1260.90 divided by 6 = 210. So then you would multiply 210 x 2 = 420. $420 is how much the people who are staying for 6 days. Then since we know it’s $210 per day, we would subtract $420 from 1260.90 and we would get 840.90. Divide that by 6 and get 140. 140 is how much those two people are paying for 2 nights.
