Question

snailpace coach company is running a trip to "the anoraks" concert. they have seven 52-seater coaches and eight 12-seater minibuses. the coach company forks out £23 for each ticket. it also costs them £150 to run each coach and £80 per minibus. how much will the company have to pay in total to run the trip

Answer 1

Total seats: 52 x 7 + 8 x 12 = 364 + 96 = 460

Total cost for total seats = 460 x 23 = 10,580

Cost for buses: 150 x 7 + 80 x 8 = 1050 + 640 = 1690

Total cost = 10,580 + 1,690 = $12,270
