P persons have decided to rent a van to tour while on holidays. The price of the van is x dollars and each person is to pay an equal share. If D persons cancel their trip thus failing to pay their share, which of the following represents the additional number of dollars per person that each remaining person must pay in order to still rent the van?
A) Dx
B) x/(P −D)
C) Dx/(P −D)
D) Dx/(P(P −D))
E) x/(P(P −D))
The OA is D.
Initially, share per person = x/P
Total share of D person = (Dx)/P
When D person left then this share has to be divided equally among remaining P-D persons.
Thus additional share is (Dx)/(P(P-D)). Option D.
Has anyone another approach to solve this PS question? Regards!
