Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Your school has raised $3,920 from this year's magazine drive. Your grade is planning a field trip. One bus costs $700 and one ticket costs $70.

First, we need to calculate the amount left after the bus is paid:

Money for tickets= 3,920 - 700

Money for tickets= $3,220

Now, the number of tickets that can be bought:

Number of tickets= 3,220 / 70

Number of tickets= 46
