Answer 1

Complete Question -

Adam and his 3 friends go on holiday together for a week.

The cost of the holiday will be shared out equally between the four friends.

These are -

• £1460 for 4 return plane tickets

• £720 for the accommodation

• £180 for the car hire for a week

How much does Adam have to pay for his shares of the cost?

Solution -

Let us solve this question stepwise .

The total cost of four return tickets is £ 1460 .

As the cost of the holiday is shared between them , Adam pays ¼ th of each amount .

Cost of Adam's return plane ticket -

> £ 1460 / 4

> £ 365

Now , the accomodation costs are £ 720

Amount Adam pays for accommodation -

> ¼ th of £ 720

> £ 180

The cost of hiring a car for a week is £ 180

Amount Adam pays for it -

> ¼ th of £ 180

> £ 45

Total amount paid by Adam :

> £ 365 + £ 180 + £ 45

> £ 580.

Hence, Adam has to pay £ 580 for the entire trip . This is the required answer .

Answer 2

Answer:

Correct Question :-

➲ Adam and three friends go on holiday together for a week. The costs of the holiday will be shared equally between the 4 friends.

These are :

• £1460 for 4 return plane tickets.
• £720 for the accomodation.
• £180 for the car hire for a week.

How much does Adam have to pay for his share of the costs.

Given :-

• Adam and three friends go on holiday together for a week.
• The costs of the holiday will be shared equally between the 4 friends.

These are :

◈ £1460 for 4 return plane tickets.

◈ £720 for the accomodation.

◈ £180 for the car hire for a week.

To Find :-

• How much does Adam have to pay for his share of the costs.

Solution :-

➤ In 1st case :

⊡ The costs of the total 4 return plane tickets is £1460. It is divided between four friends.

So, according to the question,

↦ $\sf Cost\: for\: Adam = \pounds \dfrac{\cancel{1460}}{\cancel{4}}$

↦ $\sf Cost\: for\: Adam =\: \pounds \dfrac{\cancel{730}}{\cancel{2}}$

➠ $\sf\bold{\green{Cost\: for\: Adam =\: \pounds 365}}$

$\rule{150}{2}$

➤ In 2nd case :

⊡ It is given that £720 is for the accomodation :

$\leadsto \sf Adam\: pay\: for\: accommodation =\: \pounds \cancel{720} \times \dfrac{1}{\cancel{4}}$

$\leadsto \sf Adam\: pay\: for\: accomodation =\: \pounds 180 \times 1$

$\sf\bold{\green{Adam\: pay\: for\: accomodation =\: \pounds 180}}$

$\rule{150}{2}$

➤ In 3rd case :

⊡ It is given that, £180 for the hire for a week :

↦ $\sf Adam\: pay\: for\: the\: hire =\: \pounds {\cancel{180}} \times \dfrac{1}{\cancel{4}}$

↦ $\sf Adam\: pay\: for\: the\: hire =\: \pounds 45 \times 1$

➠ $\sf\bold{\green{Adam\: pay\: for\: the\: hire =\: \pounds 45}}$

$\rule{150}{2}$

➤ In last case :

⊡ Total amount of cost does Adam pay :

↦ $\sf Total\: amount =\: \pounds 365 + \pounds 180 + \pounds 45$

➦ $\sf\bold{\red{Total\: amount =\: \pounds 590}}$

$\therefore$ The total amount of cost does Adam pay is £590 .
