Answer 1

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

From a picnic arranged for 10 persons 2 opted out. The expenses had to be equally shared by them. What is percentage increases in expenses of each person after the two left?

Let say Per person planned expense =  E

Total Expense = 10E

2 Person opted out

so total expense to be shared by 10-2 = 8 People

Expense per person  = 10E/8  = 1.25E

Increase in expense per person = 1.25E - E = 0.25E

% Increase in expense per person = (0.25E)/E  * 100 = 25 %

25 % increases in expenses of each person after the two left
