Question

A school is arranging a field trip to the zoo. The school spends 656.26 dollars on passes for 36 students and 2 teachers. The school also spends 348.48 dollars on lunch for just the students. How much money was spent on a pass and lunch for each student?

Answer 1

26.95

Explanation:

pass = 656.26 = (36 s + 2t) so 17.27 per person assuming teacher & student same price.

lunch = 348.48/36 =9.68/student

pass and lunch = 9.68 + 17.27 =26.95
