If the coach costs £114.00 to hire, how much extra will each child and every adult have to pay to the total cost of the trip?
Joe and Annie have a really good idea. They decide that the total cost of the trip and the hire of the coach should be split equally between everybody. This means that adults and children all pay the same amount of money. How much will everybody now pay for their place on the day trip?
