How much will each person pay?

Question

A hotel costs $1,011.36 for a three night stay. There are eight guests for three nights, but an additional guest will stay only two nights. How much does each guest pay?

Answer 1

1,011.36 = 3 nights

 

1,011.36 / 3 = 337.12 = 1 night

 

337.12 / 8 = 42.14 = 1st night

 

337.12 / 9 = 37.46 x 2 = 74.92 = 2nd and 3rd nights

 

42.14 + 74.92 = 117.06 = first 8 guests total spending

 

74.92 = 9th guest total spending
