Question

Petra booked a family holiday.

Answer 1

Answer:

£ 550

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The original cost of the holiday = £ 3500,

The percentage of VAT = 20%,

Thus, the amount of VAT = 20% of original cost

= 20% of 3500

$=\frac{20\times 3500}{100}$

$=\frac{70000}{100}$

= £ 700

∴ Total cost of the holiday = original cost + amount of the VAT

= 3500 + 700 = £ 4200

The amount already paid = £ 900,

So, the remaining amount have to pay = 4200 - 900 = £ 3300,

If this amount paid in 6 equal monthly payment,

Then the monthly payment = $\frac{\text{Remaining amount}}{6}$

$=\frac{3300}{6}$

=  £ 550

Answer 2

3500 x 120% = 4200
4200 - 900 = 3300
3300 ÷ 6 = 550 <<< answer

hope it helps!
