Question

Vikas is the head of student council this year at his high school in London. He is responsible for planning the annual graduation trip to Canada’s Wonderland. The students will spend one full day at the park and return late that evening. The school has rented a bus for transportation. The entry fee into the park is $50 and the bus costs $600. Write an equation to relate the cost, C, in dollars to the number of student, s, who participate in this fun trip.

Answer 1

C = 600 + 50s

Explanation:

The students are planning to visits the Canada's wonderland. The students will spend a full day at the park.

The entry fee for each student is $50 and the bus cost is $600. Each student will pay $50 for entry into the park.

Let

the number of student = s

cost of the trip = C

Relating the variable C and s

The total amount of money the student will pay for entry fee = 50 × s = 50s

Therefore, cost of the trip can be expressed as follows

C = 600 + 50s
