$300 because you do 3+2+2 which gives you 7 so you divide 700 by 7 to get 100 then you do 100•3 to find out how much Tom payed

Answer:

300

Step-by-step explanation:

The bigger room is to share in the ratio of 3 : 2 : 2.

The total cost of the rent is 700. Let x is the amount paid by per student. It can be calculated by summing up the ratios and equating it equal to 700.

[tex]3x+2x+2x=700[/tex]

7x = 700

x = 100

Amount paid by Tom is 3x or 300. Hence, this is the required solution.
