Week 288 (10th March 2023)

Sasha has booked herself a holiday to escape the British weather.  

The total cost of the holiday is £2400.00.  

Sasha pays a deposit followed by monthly payments, in the ratio:  

Deposit : Total of the monthly payments =  3 : 5 

Sasha makes 6 equal monthly payments.  

Work out Sasha’s monthly payment. 

Answer:  

2400/8 = 300 

Total value of monthly payments = 5 x 300 = £1500 

Therefore, each monthly payment = 1500/ 6 = £250
