Yes, if all 8 of the students shared the cost of $100 dollars equally, that would mean each student paid $12.50.

Answer:

The correct answer is yes, he brought enough money to get into the park.

Explanation:

Well, let's analyze the information provided:

Admission to the amusement park for 8 students is $ 100. If each student agreed to share of cost equally, it means that we must divide those 100, for each of those students.

Therefore it will remain 100/8 = 12.5

If each student must pay 12.5, and Noah brought $ 13, that means he will have enough money to enter the park, and he will even have $ 0.50 left over.
