Question

Ross and 5 of his friends are going kayaking. They rented 6 kayaks for $420. Then they bought food for all 6 people, which cost $144. If all 6 people shared the cost of the trip equally, how much did each person pay?

A.) $70
B.) $76
C.) $88
D.) $94

Answer 1

there were a total of 6 people (Ross and 5 friends)
they rented kayaks for 420 and they got food for 144....so they spent a total of (420 + 144) = 564

so $ 564 split evenly among 6 people is : 564/6 = $ 94 per person <==

Answer 2

Answer: D) $94

Explanation:

Given: Ross and 5 of his friends are going kayaking. They rented 6 kayaks for $420.

Then they bought food for all 6 people, which cost $144.

Now, the total amount they spend in all =
`\$420+\$144=\$564`

If all 6 people shared the cost of the trip equally, the amount each person will pay :_

`\$(564)/(6)=\$94`

Hence, the amount each person will pay = $94
