Answer:

The complete problem can be seen in the image below:

a) The band has 75 members.

We know that there is an entrance fee of $200 for each, and $25 for each drill team.

There are 32 bands, and 25 drill teams.

Then the total amount of money collected is:

$200*32 + $25*25 = $7,025

b) For the competition each member of the band needs $12 for food, knowing that we have 75 members on the band, the total cost here is 75 times $12, we have:

75*$12 = $900

And the school rents 3 busses for $580 each, then the total cost here is:

3*$580 = $1,740

If we add these two costs, we have:

C = $1,740 + $900 = $2,640

c) We know that the costs for food and bus are evenly divided between all members, to find how much each member needs to pay we need to find the quotient between the total cost ($2,640) and the number of members (75)

$2,640/75 = $35.20

Each member needs $35.20 to pay for the bus and food.

the food and bus costs will be split evenly among the band members. write and evaluate-example-1
