Answer 1

Answer: $217.50

Let's break this down to simplify how we get our answer

first we know that 15 students cost $135.00

But there are 26 students in total and each additional student cost $7.50

26-15=11 additional students

Now let's take the 11 additional students and multiply it by 7.50

11 x 7.50 = 82.5

Now we must add 135.00 and 82.50

135.00+82.50=$217.50
