the total cost of a vacation was divided among 4 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 ?
"c for cost . p price per person . c = 4 * p c = 5 * p - 250 substituting the value of p from the first equation onto the second we get p = 250 . plugging in the value of p in the first equation , we get c = 1000 . which leads us to answer choice e"
multiply(multiply(5, 4), divide(50, subtract(5, 4)))
