There are 39 students in the bike club.

All but 8 of them participated in a race.

What is the total cost if each student who entered the race paid $6?

Final answer:

To find the total cost, subtract the number of students who didn't participate from the total number of students. Multiply the number of participating students by the cost per student to find the total cost.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total cost, we need to determine the number of students who participated in the race. Since all but 8 students participated, the number of students who participated in the race would be 39 - 8 = 31.

The total cost can be found by multiplying the number of students who participated by the cost per student. In this case, each student paid $6, so we multiply 31 by $6.

The total cost would be 31 * $6 = $186.

Answer:

Total Cost = $186

Step-by-step explanation:

All but 8 means that All of them participated except for 8 of them

Since there is 39 Students in the Club

Then the Number of Students participated = 39 - 8 = 31 Students

Total Cost = (Cost per Student ) * ( Number of Students )

=$6 * 31 = $186

Glad to Help
