Jayla's history class is going to a museum. The museum charges $25 for an adult ticket and $12.50 for a student ticket. The class must spend $375 to rent buses for the trip. The total cost of the museum visit is modeled by the expression 25 x + 12.5y + 375. Which is the meaning of y in the expression?

the number of students going

$12.50 is the cost of the STUDENT ticket, so that knocks 2 answers down then, would you times the total by 12.5 to get the actual cost. no so it has to be the number of students going
