you agree to split the £248 hostel bill to the ratio of:

with you paying the least. 
How much will you have to pay?

Respuesta :

Total bill =  £248

Ratio in which the bill is split = 3:3:2

2 friends will pay 3x amount and 1 will pay 2x

[tex]3x+3x+2x=248[/tex]

[tex]8x=248[/tex]

[tex]x=31[/tex]

Hence the bill is split like :

[tex]3\times31=93[/tex] (for 2 friend totaling to £186)

[tex]2\times31=62[/tex]

As, I have to pay the least value, so I will pay £62.
