Question

Mary won £5000 in a competition.

She used the money to pay for herself and 8 friends
to go on a holiday.
Flights cost £279 for each of them.
Accommodation cost £184 for each of them.
How much of the £5000 did she have left after paying for
flights and accommodation for herself and the 8 friends?​

Answer 1

$833

Explanation:

Since there are 9 people, we need to determine the cost of accommodation and flights for all 9 people:

9(273) + 9(184) = 2457 + 1656 = 4167 for 9 people

We then subtract that amount from the amount of money she won:

5000 - 4167 = 833
