How much does a london party animal pay in euros for N round trip tickets if all his trips originate in london?
qa is (2e + 2ne)/3
I picked numbers but couldnt get to this. I believe I set up a wrong equation and therefore my plugged in numbers didnt work.

N round-trip flights means 2N segments.
If you assume they were all cheap segments, he paid 2N(e/3).
However, one of the segments was e rather than e/3, so add 2/3 e.
Good luck!
