A social club charters a bus at a cost of $900 to take a group of members on an excursion to Atlantic City. At the last minute five people in the group decided not to go. This raises the transportation cost per person by $2. How many people originally intended to take the trip? Please show how to solve the question. I already know the answer (50). Thanks.

1. (900/n) +2 = (900/n-5 ) 900 / n = the original cost per person solve for n
