Aparty of 8 fishermen rented a boat. two of the fishermen had to withdraw from the party and, as a result, the share of each of the others was increased by $4 . what is the total cost of the boat rental (in dollars)?

$96

Step-by-step explanation:

let the the amount each men pay when they were 8 be x

let the total amount for the boat rental be y

8x=y         .....................equ1

if two men withdraw from the party, and the amount each men pay increases by $4 then;

(x+4)6 =y

6x+24=y   ...........equ2

make x the subject of formula from equ1;

x=y/8

substitute x as y/8 into

6(y/8) +24 =y

3y/4 +24=y

24=y-(3y/4)

24=y/4

y=24*4

y=$96

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hope this : )
