Answer 1

Given:

The price per student for the admission, m=$5.

Extra amount spent by a student, c=$ 9.

Total amount spent, T=$34.

Let x be the number of students. Then, the expression for the total amount is,

`T=mx+c`

Substitute values and solve for x.

`\begin{gathered} 34=5x+9 \\ 34-9=5x \\ 25=5x \\ x=(25)/(5) \\ x=5 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the number of students is 5.

Option (b) is correct.
