the room, Lunch and Refreshments, how many delegates could you afford each day if you have to buy 
them Lunch and Refreshments?
 

 


Correct answer: A

Explanation
Budget for the room for 4 days = 510 x 4 = €2,040
Budget for lunch and refreshment for 4 days = 8100 - 2040 = €6060 Budget for lunch and refreshment 
for a day = 6060/4 = €1515 Lunch and refreshment per person per day = €28 -(25% x 28) = €21 
Affordable number of delegates each day = 1515/21
= 72

29)

You have booked the Dylan Room for five days with lunch and refreshments for 43 people but
have to increase this to 49 people so you will use the Lennon Room instead. How much more will 
these changes cost you?
 

 


Correct answer: C

Explanation
Cost of Dylan room for 5 days is (400 x 5)= €2000
Lunch and refreshment for 43 people for 5 days = (43 x 5 x €28)
= €6020
Total cost=€8020
Using the Lennon room: Room cost for 5 days = €2100
Lunch and refreshment for 49 people for 5 days = €6860
Total cost = €8960 Therefore, these changes will cost 8960 - 8020 = €940
