Question

6 boys each contribute R155.50 towards the purchase of a tent. calculate the amount each would have to contribute if there were 10 boys in the group?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

If 6 boys each contributed R155.50 towards the purchase of a tent, then the total cost of the tent was:

`6 * "R"155.50 = "R"933.00`

If we want to know the cost per boy if the were 10 boys purchasing the same tent we can evaluate:

`("R"933.00)/10 = "R"93.30`
