Fair

Several students from our class went on excursions and each paid the same amount. In the end, some money was left over that needed to be returned to them. If we returned €3 to each person, there would still be €5 left. If we returned €4 to each person, there would be €20 missing. How many cents should we return to each person to distribute the money fairly?

Final Answer:

x =  20

Step-by-step explanation:

 n 3 = z  5  n 4 = z+20  4n  3n = (z+20)  (z5)  n=20(5)=25  z=n 3+5=25 3+5=80 eur  a=z/n=80/25=516=351=3.2 eur  x=100 (a3.0)=100 (3.23.0)=20
