are you sure that question has the correct values because from my calculation she won't be able to donate anything although i am not sure i handled the question properly.


So we have income minus outgoings, some of the outgoings are variable costs and some are fixed costs.

income: 100(17)=1700100(17) = 1700
expenditure: 100(13)+40+40+230=1610 100(13) + 40 + 40 + 230 = 1610

profit = income - expenditure

done.

After paying the entrance fee for each student, she's left with £4 per person... 4 x 100 = £400
The other costs for the trip are for the whole group: £230 + £40 + £40 = £310
400 - 310 = £90
pretty sure its 90

Um not sure if anyone’s noticed but this thread was made 3 years ago therefore Hafli’s holiday is now irrelevant.
