Answer:
Amount paid by Martha = $200
Amount paid by Renee = $320
Amount paid by Susan = $280
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, the given question is INCOMPLETE.
Renee, Susan and Martha will share the cost to rent a vacation house for a week. Renee will pay 40% of the cost. Susan will pay 0.35 of the cost. Martha will pay the remainder of the cost. If the cost to rent the vacation house is $800, how much will each person pay?
Here, the total cost of the vacation = $800.
Renee pays 40% of the cost.
Calculating 40% of $800, we get:
[tex]\frac{40}{100} \times 800 = 320[/tex]
So, Renee pays a total of $320 in the cost of vacation. ... (1)
Susan pays 0.35 = 35 % of the cost.
Calculating 35% of $800, we get:
[tex]\frac{35}{100} \times 800 = 280[/tex]
So, Susan pays a total of $280 in the cost of vacation. ... (2)
Now, The amount paid by { Renee + Susan + Martha} = $800
⇒ $320 + $280 + Amount paid by Martha = $800
⇒Amount paid by Martha = $800 - $600 = $200
Hence, Amount paid by Martha = $200
Amount paid by Renee = $320
Amount paid by Susan = $280
