~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The combination of words "total cost per person" is incorrect usage of English and mockery on common sense.
There is "total cost". It is $500 in this problem.
And there is "price", which by definition is the cost per one unit. In this post it is $5 per person.
But "the total cost per person" is an absurdist combination of words, which is NEVER used.
