Question

there is 90 5th grade students going on a field trip. each student gives the teacher $9.25 to cover admission to the theater and for lunch. admission for all of the students will cost $315, and each student will get an equal amount to spend on lunch. how much will each fifth grader get to spend on lunch

Answer 1

Each fifth grader will get to spend $3.50 on lunch.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much each fifth grader will get to spend on lunch, we need to divide the total amount they paid for lunch by the number of students. The total amount paid for lunch is $315 and there are 90 fifth-grade students. So, we can divide $315 by 90 to find the amount each student will get to spend on lunch.

Dividing $315 by 90, we get:

$315 / 90 = $3.50

Therefore, each fifth grader will get to spend $3.50 on lunch.

Answer 2

(9.25x90-315)/90
(832.5-315)/90
517.5/90
5.75
