Question

The school is organizing a field trip to a theme park. The cost of admission tickets is $35 per student. There are 28 students in the class. The teacher also needs to pay an additional $150 for transportation. If the teacher collects the exact amount from every student, how much money will the teacher collect in total?

Answer 1

To find out how much money the teacher will collect, we need to calculate the total cost of admission tickets for all the students and add the transportation cost.

The cost of admission tickets for one student is $35, and there are 28 students in the class. So, we multiply the cost per student by the number of students:

$35 × 28 = $980

The cost of transportation is an additional $150.

Now, we add the cost of admission tickets and the transportation cost:

$980 + $150 = $1130

Therefore, the teacher will collect a total of $1130 from the students for the field trip.
