Question 167946This question is from textbook
: Members of the ski club contributed equally to obtain $1800 for a holiday trip. When 6 members found that they could not go their contributions were refunded and each remaining member then had to pay $10 more to raise the $1800. How many went on the trip? This question is from textbook
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let = the original number of members that went on the trip = The original amount of each contribution = the number of members that finally went on the trip = The contributions that were withdrawn by 6 who cancelled = The final contribution by each who finally went = the final total of contributions
Since 1800 is still needed for the trip, I can say
Subtract from both sides
Multiply both sides by
Divide both sides by
I can use the complete the square method ( is also an answer- I discard it)
This is the number who ORIGINALLY went on the trip is the number who finally went on the trip
check answer:
OK
