A debt of $450 is to be shared equally among the members of the Outing Club. When five of the members refuse to pay, the other members’ shares each go up by $3. How many members does the Outing Club have?
Accepted Solution
A:
x = The number of members
450 / x = Each person's share
(450 / x) + 3 = Having gone up by three dollars
(450 / (x - 5)) = Each person's share minus the five deadbeats
