Question

The Parent Teacher Organization has raised $1800 to help pay for a year-end trip to an amusement park. They ask that there be one adult for every five students attending. Adult tickets cost $45 and student tickets cost $30. If the group wants to take 50 students, how much will each student need to pay so that adults agreeing to chaperone pay nothing?

a.$5
b.$40
c.$150
d.$3

Answer 1

Answer: b

Explanation:

well if each student pays 40 multiply it by 50 and you would be 2000 and since there is one adult per 5 kids it would be 10 adults 10 x 45 is 450 while 50 x 30 is 1500 for kids so if kids pay. 40 the adults don’t need to pay.
