May I ask how you came up with that answer? From your question, I generate the following equation

$perPerson = 72,000 / n
4000 = 72,000 / (n-3)

n = 72000/4000 + 3 = 21

So I thought the answer would be 21. Maybe my initial equation is wrong.

The question says "$4000 more" so you want $perPerson + 4000 = 72000/(n-3).
