Question

There are 176 freshmen and 18 adults, going on

a trip to Great Adventure. The tickets are
$60.00 for an individual or $300.00 for up to a
group of 10 people. If your school only
purchased group tickets, how much money is
needed to go on the trip?

Answer 1

$6000

Explanation:

First you add the freshmen and the adults. Since its $300 per group of 10, you divide the total amount of people that are going (194) by 10. Since you need to have a whole number and can't round to the lowest number you have 20 groups. 20 x 300 = 6000.

176 + 18 = 194

194 / 10 = 19.4

20 x 300 = 6000
