Because your friends stayed in bed instead of helping you with the breakfast, you agree to split the £248 hostel bill to the ratio of: 3:3:2 with you paying the least. How much will you have to pay?
The total hostel bill is 248 pound. 3:3:2 ratio means 3+3+2=8 parts. You paying the least means that you pay the 2 parts. 248 pound /8 = 31 pound. So one part is worth 31 pound. you pay 2 parts so that is 2 * 31 pound = 62 pound.
