Question

A school is arranging a field trip to the zoo. The school spends 754.88 dollars on passes for 28 students and 4 teachers. The school also spends 260.68 dollars on lunch for just the students. How much money was spent on a pass and lunch for each student?

Answer 1

The amount spent on a pass and lunch for each student is $15.44.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much money was spent on a pass and lunch for each student, we need to subtract the cost of lunch from the total amount spent and then divide by the total number of students. Let's do the calculations:

1. Total amount spent on passes for 28 students and 4 teachers = $754.88
2. Total amount spent on lunch for just the students = $260.68
3. Total amount spent on passes for students only = Total amount spent on passes - Total amount spent on lunch = $754.88 - $260.68 = $494.20
4. Number of students = 28 + 4 = 32
5. Amount spent on a pass and lunch for each student = Total amount spent on passes for students only / Number of students = $494.20 / 32 = $15.44

Therefore, $15.44 was spent on a pass and lunch for each student.
