Hillary was willing to pay for 30% of the trip. Carlton was willing to pay for ¼ of what Will paid. Will was going to pay for 2/5 of the trip, and Ashley was going to pay for the rest of the trip. a) Create an equation that could be used to determine how much each person paid for the trip. b) Determine how much each person paid for the trip.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hillary 2400

carlton 800

will 3200

ashley 1600

Step-by-step explanation:

hillary 30% of 8000 ---- 8000:100×30=2400

will 2/5 of 8000 8000:5×2=3200

carlton 1/4 of will's---- 3200:4=800

ashley: rest, which is 8000-(2400+3200+800)=8000-6400=1600
