Pie chart

The budget for the trip is £2000.

Each soldier has £3.50 needed for each meal, and each soldier gets 2 meals on the journey. There are 41 junior soldiers in the platoon, and 6 permanent staff. This amounts to 47 soldiers, so 94 meals.

94x£3.50=£329

Each soldier also gets £35 spending money.

47x£35=£1645

Summary

I have successfully planned a journey, working out distances, fuel consumption and costs of fuel consumption. In addition to that I have worked out how many black bags are transportable by coach, so we can be sure we can fit each members black bags in. I then also worked out whether we were under, on or above our budget for the trip.
