Answer 1

The total cost of $1,232.28 for passes and lunch for 40 students results in each student's cost being $30.81.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much money was spent on a pass and lunch for each student, we need to calculate the total cost per student and then divide it by the number of students. First, let's add the cost for passes and lunch: $891.88 for passes and $340.40 for lunch gives a total of $1,232.28. Since this total cost is for 40 students, we divide $1,232.28 by 40.

Doing the division, we find that each student's cost for the pass and lunch is $30.81 ($1,232.28 ÷ 40 = $30.81). Therefore, the amount spent on a pass and lunch for each student is $30.81.
