Question

A school is arranging a field trip to the zoo. The school spends 635.85 dollars on passes for 43 students and 2 teachers. The school also spends 367.22 dollars on lunch for just the students. How much money was spent on a pass and lunch for each student?

Answer 1

$22.67

Explanation:

The school spends 635.85 dollars on passes for 43 students and 2 teachers, then the school spends

`\$635.85 :(43+2)=\$14.13` per person.

The school also spends 367.22 dollars on lunch for just the students, so the school spends

`\$367.22 :43=\$8.54` per person.

In total, a pass and lunch for each student was spent

`\$14.13+\$8.54=\$22.67`
