Question

A principal wants to send her top science students on a field trip to the state science center. T trip costs $250 for a bus and driver, plus $17.50 per student for food and admission.

A. What is the cost of sending 30 students? 60 students?

B. What equation shows how how the total trip cost C depends on the number of students S who go on the trip?

C. Write and solve an inequality that answers this question:

How many students can go on the trip if the budget allows a maximum coast of $1,000?

Answer 1

A.$30 students= $525

60 students= $1050

B. C=250+(17.50s)
C.c=250+(17.50s)
Last one you do 1000-250=750/17.50=41 students can go.
I did this because you have a budget of 1000 and 250 already on the bus. So 1000-250=750. And the rest of the money is for science students!

Answer 2

A. (30 students 525) (60 students 1050)
B. C=250+(17.50s)
C. same as b
