Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Key in the expression is "s" that represents students going to the trip

The first part shows what the adventure park is going to charge, a group day charge of $300 and $30 more for the students taking the ropes course

300+30*s

The second being the amount the class can get, $500 the have in the account and $25 per student in tickets they have to sell

500+25s
