SOLUTION

Write out the given information


\begin{gathered} \text{Number of student=22} \\ \cos t\text{ the ticket=\$ 7.50} \end{gathered}

For estimate

The number of the tudent will be estimated to


25

The cost of the ticket will be estimated to


\text{ \$ 8.0}

Hence

The estimated cost of the trip will be


25*8=\text{ \$200}

Therefore

Clarence is correct. 22 rounds to 25 and $7.5 rounds to $ 8. Then 25 x 8= $200
