each ticket to enter the fair was $9

Let x be the number if students in the group of bus

So, teh cost of x students is 9x

parking fee for the group's bus was $25

the total cost was $313

Since total cost = Cost of x students tickets + Parking fees

Total cost = 9x + 25

9x + 25 = 313

Simplify the equation for x:

Subtract 25 on both side:

9x + 25 - 25 = 313 -25

9x = 288

Divide both side by 9

9x/9 = 288/9

x = 32

Since x is the number if students

thus, Number of students = 32

Answer :Equation : 9x +25 = 313; Number of students = 32
