Question

Eighty students are going on a field trip to a history museum. The total cost includes 2 bus rentals and $10 per student for lunch. They daily bus rental is $960 per bus. What is the total cost per student?

Answer 1

$34
960*2=1920 (bus rentals)
80*10=800 (lunch)
1920+800=2720 (total cost)
2720/80=34 (cost per student)

Answer 2

$34

Explanation:

Cost of 1 bus = $960

Cost of 2 bus =
`960 * 2 =1920`

Cost of lunch per student = $10

Cost of lunch for 80 students =
`80 * 10 = 800`

Total cost = 1920+800 = 2720

So, Cost per students =
`\frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total students}} =(2720)/(80)=34`

Hence the total cost per student is $34
