Question

To host school groups on field trips, a museum charges a flat fee of $250 plus $8 for each student who attends. If a school can spend at most $585 for its field trip to this museum, what is the maximum number of students the school can afford to send?

41

Explanation:

Answer 2

we are given the problem in which it can be translated to 250 + 8x where x is the number of students. The maximum amount that the school can spend is equal to 585. In this case, we equate 250 + 8x to 585. 250 + 8x = 585; x as the number of students is equal to 41 students
