Answer 1

Given :

There are 40 DuBois students going on a field trip.

Each one pays their teacher $8.75 to cover admission to the museum and lunch.

Admission for the students is $120 and each one gets an equal amount to spend on lunch.

To Find :

How much will each DuBois student be able to spend on lunch.

Solution :

Amount they paid for admission :

`P =\$ (120)/(40)\\\\P=\$3`

Now, amount of money to spend on lunch is $8.75 - $3 = $5.75 .

Hence, this is the required solution.
