if 5 people rent a house for $1,957 but 3 people stay 3 nights and 2 people stay 4 nights, what is the cost per person

Question

I am not a student but having trouble figuring the cost

Answer 1

3 * 3 = 9 person nights

4 x 2 = 8 person nights

 

Total of 17 person nights

 

1,957 / 17 person nights = $115.117647 per person

 

3 * 3 * 115.12 = 1,036.06

2 * 4 * 115.12 = 920.94

 

1036.06 + 920.94 = 1,957
