Question

ASAP ASAP PLEASE HELP

A couple pays £1200 for a holiday in Portugal. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic the holiday
company cancels the holiday and gives the customers this option:
Rebook another holiday and get a 20% incentive*
We have a range of alternative holidays available for you to choose from and would love to take
you are
away on holiday. Plus, if the holiday you book is more expensive than your original holiday,
you’ll automatically receive an incentive worth up to 20% of the value of the holiday*.


Given that the customers had already paid the holiday company £1200 for the holiday in Portugal, and are paying an equal share towards this holiday, how much extra will it cost them each?

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find out how much extra each person will have to pay, we need to know the total cost of the new holiday.

If the total cost of the new holiday is more expensive than the original holiday, and we know the original holiday cost £1200, we can subtract the 20% incentive from the total cost of the new holiday to find out how much the couple will have to pay extra.

Let's call the total cost of the new holiday "X"
