Question

A refrigeration company held a 2-hour training program for 5 employees. The employees were all paid their regular wages for the time they were released from their regular work. These wages totaled $340 for the group. Refreshments were served at a total cost of $5 per person. The program instructor’s fee was $75. Supplies, including new procedure manuals, were provided to each employee for a total of $250. What was the total cost for the seminar to the nearest cent?

Answer 1

The solution to the question how much was the total cost for the seminar is shown below:

Cost 1 = $ 340 for the total wages for the group
cost 2 =$5 x 5 employees, this is for the refreshments
cost 3 = $75 for the instructors fee
cost 4 = $250 for the supplies and others

Total cost = cost1 +cost2 +cost3 + cost 4
Total cost = $340 + ($5*5) + $75 + 250
Total cost = $690
