Question

Middle School teaches 6th, 7th, and 8th grade classes. The sixth grade has 318 students, the 7th has 286 students, and the 8th has 306 students. If the sixth grade takes a field trip and each student needs $3.50, how much total money is needed by the students? $910 c. $1113 b. $3185 d. $1071​

Answer 1

$3185

Explanation:

Multiply the number of grade 6 students by the money needed ($3.50) and you get 318x3.50=1113

Multiply the number of grade 7 students by the money needed ($3.50) and you get 286x3.50=1001

Multiply the number of grade 8 students by the money needed ($3.50) and you get 306x3.50=1071

Add all the total amounts together and you get $3185
