Question

A school group is planning a trip to New York City. There

are 29 people going on the trip. They spent a total of
$19,111. They agreed to share the total cost of the trip
equally. Let "s" equal each person's share of the cost.
What is each person's share of the cost?

Answer 1

S=$659

Explanation:

You have to divide 29 by 29 which give you 1 so cross that out, then do 19111 divided by 29 which is 659, so s=659.

Hope this helps:)

Answer 2

$659

Explanation:

This a basic algebra question with set up.

The total cost is 19,111 with 29 people going and s being each person's cost.

19,111 = 29s

`\frac{19111} {29}`
`=s\\`

so

$659
