It cost $36.75 for three tickets to visit the science center. It cost $51 for 4 tickets to visit the zoo. Which attraction will cost more money for a group of 12 students to visit? How much more?

Find the cost for one ticket for the science center.
36.75 ÷ 3 = 12.25
Multiply the product with 12 to get the cost of 12 tickets.
12.25 × 12 = 147
Find the cost of 1 zoo ticket.
51 ÷ 4 = 12.75
Find the cost of 12 tickets by multiplying the product and 12
12.75 × 12 = $153
12 Science Center Tickets cost $147
12 zoo tickets cost $153

The Zoo costs more than the Science Center.

To find out how much more the Zoo costed, subtract 147 from 153.
153 - 147 = 6
The zoo only costs $6 more for 12 students.
So, you're answers are Zoo and $6
