Permit : $250
Fee for freshies : $0.75
Fee for non-freshies: 1.25

If you have 200 freshman coming , you would multiply 0.75 X 200= $150

Now how many non-freshies need to show up to meet the $250 permit?

250(permit) - 150= $100

$100 divided by $1.25 = 80 non-freshies would need to show up , enabling to pay the full of the $250 permit fee
