Question

The teachers at West Elementary are planning a field trip for 385 students. It will cost $1,750 for transportation and $3,080 for tickets to the museum. If the teachers charge each student $12, will they have enough money to cover the costs of the field trip?

Answer 1

The cost needed for the trip is $1,750 for transportation and $3,080 for tickets to the museum.
This makes a total of: 1750 + 3080 = $4830 needed

Now, we have 385 students. Teachers will collect $12 from each. This means that the amount collected would be: 12 * 385 = $4620

Based on the above calculations, the amount needed for the trip is $4830 and the amount collected is $4620.
This means that collecting $12 from each student would not be enough for the trip.
