you agree to split the £248 hostel bill to the ratio of:

3:3:2 

with you paying the least. 
How much will you have to pay?

Answer 1

Total bill = £248

Ratio in which the bill is split = 3:3:2

2 friends will pay 3x amount and 1 will pay 2x

`3x+3x+2x=248`

`8x=248`

`x=31`

Hence the bill is split like :

`3*31=93` (for 2 friend totaling to £186)

`2*31=62`

As, I have to pay the least value, so I will pay £62.
