Answer:
£36
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that School allots £3000 to spend on a trip to the theatre. With regular cost of tickets of £40 each with offer for 1/5 off
Then the cost of each ticket with 1/5 off= (4/5×40)= £32
From the question, A train ticket for the day will cost £20 each.
Then total cost for each of it = £32+£20
=£52
To determine how much money that the school will have left over, If 3 teachers and the maximum number of students attend, can be expressed below by first calculating the number of students.
Let us denote the number of students as "x"
52(x+3)= < 3000
52x + 156 =< 3000
52x =< 3000 - 156
52x =< 2844
X =< 2844/52
s =< 54.69,
The max. Number of students is 54
Total number of people= Number of students + the 3 teachers
= 54+3= 57
Total cost for 57 people= (£52 × 57 people)= £2964
The amount of money the school will have as left over = (£3000 - £2964)
= £36
