A group of 10 people plan to contribute equally to pay for a friend’s gift that costs G dollars. If n additional people want to contribute to pay for the gift, the required contribution per person will be reduced by how many dollars? 

A     Gn/(100+10n)

B    (10+n)/Gn

C    (10G+Gn)/n

D    (Gn+10G)/Gn-10

Solution

Correct Answer: Option A

 

People =10

Total cost=G dollar

Per person cost= G/10 dollar

If n additional people want to contribute to pay for the gift then Per person cost =G/(10+n)

Reduced = G/10- G/(10+n) = Gn/(100+10n)
