The price for hiring a car is determined by the number of days for which it is to be hired and the number of people who will be using it. The table below shows the prices for groups of up to 5 people hiring cars for up to 7 days. Patrick is part of a group of 5 people on a holiday for 5 days. They will be going on outings each day, and had planned to hire one car for all of them for all 5 days. However, two of the group of people will only be there for the first 3 days, so an alternative is to hire one car for this period and another for the final two days. What will be the difference if they choose this alternative?
