The total cost of a vacation was divided among 3 people. If the total cost of the vacation had been divided equally among 5 people, the cost per person would have been $50 less. What was the total cost cost of the vacation?	Choose one.
A) $ 200  B) $ 375  C) $ 400  D) $ 500  E) $ 600

Rationale: c for cost . p price per person . c = 3 * p c = 5 * p - 250 substituting the value of p from the first equation onto the second we get p = 125 . plugging in the value of p in the first equation , we get c = 375 . which leads us to answer choice b
Answer: B
