How to calculate the cost per player for a playhouse rental?

The cost per player can be determined using the following formula:

Total Cost Calculation:

§§ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Rental Cost} + \text{Additional Costs} - \left( \text{Rental Cost} \times \frac{\text{Discount}}{100} \right) §§

where:

  • § \text{Total Cost} § — the total amount spent on the rental
  • § \text{Rental Cost} § — the base cost of renting the playhouse
  • § \text{Additional Costs} § — any extra expenses incurred during the rental
  • § \text{Discount} § — any percentage discount applied to the rental cost

Cost per Player Calculation:

§§ \text{Cost per Player} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of Players}} §§

where:

  • § \text{Cost per Player} § — the amount each player needs to pay
  • § \text{Total Cost} § — the total amount spent on the rental
  • § \text{Number of Players} § — the total number of players sharing the cost

Example:

  1. Rental Cost: $100
  2. Additional Costs: $20
  3. Discount: 10%
  4. Number of Players: 5

Total Cost Calculation:

§§ \text{Total Cost} = 100 + 20 - \left( 100 \times \frac{10}{100} \right) = 100 + 20 - 10 = 110 §§

Cost per Player Calculation:

§§ \text{Cost per Player} = \frac{110}{5} = 22 §§
