Answer: 38 pounds
Step-by-step explanation: School allots £1500 to spend on a trip to the theatre.
Theatre tickets have a regular cost of £35 each and are on offer for 1/5 off
therefore 4/5*35 = 28 for the tickets
:
A train ticket for the day will cost £15 each.
therefore total cost for each: 28 + 15 = 43 pounds each
:
If 2 teachers and the maximum number of students attend, how much money will the school have left over?
:
let s = no. of students
43(s+2) =< 1500
43s + 86 =< 1500
43s =< 1500 - 86
43s =< 1414
s =< 1414/43
s =< 32.88, 32 students max
:
find how much left over. plus 2 teachers = 34 people
1500 - 43(34) =
1500 - 1462 = 38 pounds left over
