Answer to Question #214148 in Accounting for Tiff

Question

There are 13 dancers attending an event outside of their home state. Two coaches are going with them. Every 13 dancer has a different schedule to perform and length of time to stay. Some will stay 1, 2, 3, or even 4 days. The two coaches stay for 7 days. If the total stay for both coaches for the whole week including food, gas, hotel, and their time attending the practices is $6175 how should this cost be broken down so all 13 dancers pay fairly. How much should a dancer who stays 2 days pay? Thanks.

Answer 1

If the total stay for both coaches for the whole week including food, gas, hotel, and their time attending the practices is $6175, then this cost should be broken down by:

6175/(2×7) = $441.07 per coach per day, so all 13 dancers will pay fairly.

A dancer who stays 2 days should pay:

441.07×2 = $882.14.
