Lila and Wassim are planning a stay at the StarWatch camping site.
They will:
share a tent between them,
both stay for a total of 10 nights,
use a tent with a rectangular base measuring 2.5 by 4.2 metres.
The holiday is just 9 weeks away and they each plan to save £12 per week from now until their holiday.
Will they save enough money to cover all their camping site charges? If the answer is 'yes' say how much extra
money they will save.
You must show all your working.
