Question

There are 40 GT students going on a field trip. Each one pays their teacher $8.75 to cover admission to the museum and lunch. Admission for the students is $120 and each one gets an equal amount to spend on lunch. How much will each GT student be able to spend on lunch?

Answer 1

Each GT student gets $3 for lunch

Explanation:

40 GT student gave teacher $8.75 so you multiply 40 by 8.75= $350.00

To find how much they need to spend for lunch you divide $120 by 40 student because they paid for it. And you get $3!

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Explanation:

There are 40 DuBois students going on a field trip.

Each one pays their teacher $8.75 to cover admission to the museum and lunch.

Admission for the students is $120 and each one gets an equal amount to spend on lunch.

To Find :

How much will each DuBois student be able to spend on lunch.

Solution :

Amount they paid for admission :

\begin{gathered}P =\$ \dfrac{120}{40}\\\\P=\$3\end{gathered}P=$40120P=$3

Now, amount of money to spend on lunch is 8.75 -8.75−3 = $5.75 .

Hence, this is the required solution.
