Find total cost of meal.

Answer 1

Answer:

Total cost of meal is $\£87$

Solution:

Adam and his dad share a cost of meal in ratio 2:3

Let us assume Adam has spend 2x and dad has spent 3x cost of the meal.

The total cost of the meals is $(2x +3x) = 5x$

As given, Adam's father pays $\£ 52.20$

So, $3x = 52.20$

$x = \frac{52.20}{3} = 17.4$

Hence, the total cost of the meal is 5x = $(5\times 17.4)$ = $\£87$

Answer 2

Answer:

Total cost of meal = £87.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Adam and his dad share a cost of meal in ratio 2:3

Let

Cost of Adam meal = £2x

Cost of Adam's dad meal = £3x

/* According to the problem ,

3x = £52.20

=> x = £17.40

Cost of Adam meal = 2x

= 2× 17.40

= £34.80

Now,

Total cost of meal = £34.80 + £52.20

= £87.00
