To get the Total amount for each person would be like this

   D/(M-3)

    for example => D =70 M=10

                         normally each person would get (D/M) $7

                         but after there  are 3 less persons it would be (D/(M-3)

                          Then it would come to $10 per person

  another example D= 200 M=5

                         Normally each person would get (D/M) $40 per person

                         but after ther are 3 less persons (D/(M-3) $100 per person

if M persons are there and $D is there share! then the total is MDnow the no of persons would be M-3 and their share increasesso now there share would be (MD/(M-3))so increase would beMD(/(M-3))-D=(3D)/(M-3)

Let D = X / M , where is the an amount of money  => (1 )

D1 = (D + Y) , y is the increase in share

D1 = X / ( M -3 ) , since there 3 person less but same amount of money (2)

from equation (1) and (2)

DM = D1 (M-3)
D1 = DM/(M-3)

Replace D1 by (D + y)

D + y  = DM/(M-3)
y =   DM/(M-3) - D
y =  D( (M-(M-3))/(M-3))
y = D(3/(M-3)

Thus y = 3D/(M-3)
Which is the increase in amount

If the no. of persons are M, and the spent is $D, then the amount spent by each of them is 

             $D/M   =   $X   ----------- (1)


 If 3 persons were absent then the amount spent by each of the member is


            $D/(M-3) =  $Y   --- -------- (2)

  Now (2)-(1) gives the answer i.e.the increased share to be paid by each individual

 If M be 5 persons and dD be $100, then accordingly X=20 and Y=50 so the increased share is $30.

The share of each person is $D
Since the total number of persons are M the total amount is  $(M*D)

Since 3 persons were reduced the number of persons become M-3
(M-3)*share isequal to $DM
so share is equal to $DM/(M-3)
the increase in share is ($DM/M-3)-$D

3D/(m-3) is the new share value okay.
But the question is "how much share will be increased for each individual."
Actual share is D, so increase by (3D/(m-3)) - D

Total for the party is $D
M persons included in this so share of 1 person is given by $D/M
and now the 3 persons are absent
so now total amount of persons is M-3
and the total amount for party remain the same as $D
and now the new share for each person will be $D/(M-3)
so the increase in their share will be $D/(M-3)  - $D/M
This will give 3$D/(M*(M-3))

  Was this answer useful?  Yes

Given no of persons =m

each share = D
 Then total expenditure = D*M

Now the same expenditure sahred by 3 persons less = (D*M)/(M-3)

Difference =  DM/(M-3)  -  D  = 3D/(M-3)

total amount of fee is M*D

3people absent, fee for each is M*D/(M-3)

It asks how much increased, so M*D/(M-3)-D
