Workers in a company decided to rent a van instead of commuting going to work. The amount of rent is shared equally among the passengers. Let x = the number of passengers y = the rental share of each passenger in pesos y= 2000/x 4. Given that the van rental is P 2,000.00 per day and the gasoline that will be filled in the tank is 42 liters every week except on the third week where they only filled the van with 21 liters of gasoline that costs P 45.00 per liter. How much will each of the 15 passengers (not including the driver) share in a month? (Consider that there are 4 weeks in a month and the passengers will travel 5 days a week).
