Answer 2

Answer:

$8 charge for each additional person

Step-by-step explanation

$40/night for each person

First 4 people already paid.

Leftover are 5 people.

9-4=5

Since first 4 people paid, the rest to be paid is $40.

$80-$40=$40

To find the charge for each person, divide the amount of money left by the amount of people left.

40÷5= 8

$8 is the additional charge for each additional person.
