Lila and Wassim are planning a stay
at the StarWatch camping site.
They will:
• share a tent between them,
• both stay for a total of 10 nights,
• use a tent with a rectangular base
measuring 2.3 by 4.2 metres.

They also need to pay for 8 nights out of 10 for the ground surface of the tent pitch. Since their tent is 9.66m², it's less than 10m² so they get to pay £15 * 8 = £120. We calculate for only one tent because they're sharing.

Their total expenses are £120 + £120 = £240.

Now let's look at their savings;

£13 * 2 persons * 9 weeks = £234

They will not have enough money for their holiday because they are £6 short of the £240 funds required.

The amount of money two people will save and the cost of staying in a camping site is required.

They will save enough money for the trip.

They will have [tex]\£ 18[/tex] extra.

Charge per person per night is £6

Weeks away is 9 weeks

Money saved per week is £13 by each.

Money saved by Lila and Wassim

[tex]13\times 2\times 9=\£ 234[/tex]

Area of tent is

[tex]2.3\times 4.2=9.66\ \text{m}^2[/tex]

This is less than [tex]10\ \text{m}^2[/tex]

So, charge for tent per night will be £15

They will be staying 10 nights so they will be charged for 8 nights.

So, cost of staying in the camp in the tent will be

[tex]6\times 2\times 8+15\times 8=\£ 216[/tex]

They will save enough money for the trip.

They will have [tex]234-216=\£ 18[/tex] extra.
