Question

i agree with you, the problem is badly worded! But don't overthink it ;)

they are renting the hall as a group so they are pooling their money together. They are each paying 15 pounds and there are 5 of them.

you could think of it as 5 groups of 15 pound stacks = the total number of pounds
or 5 X 15 = ?

Does this help you? Good luck!
