Question

Mr. Richard plans to take 25 students on a school trip. They plan to go to Zoo. The bus fee is $100 for the entire trip. Entrance fee is $2.50 per person. How much should each student pay? Note: Mr. Richard does not need to pay.

Answer 1

$162.50

Explanation:

+$100

25x2.50= $62.50

+$62.50

100+62.50=162.50

Answer 2

Each student should pay $6.50

Explanation:

The question is not very clear.

If Mr. Richard has to pay to enter:

Total cost = $100 + ($2.50×26) = $165

Cost per student =
`(165)/(25)` = $6.60

Each student should pay $6.60

If Mr. Richard doesn't have to pay to enter:

Total cost = $100 + ($2.50×25) = $162.5

Cost per student =
`(162.5)/(25)` = $6.50

Each student should pay $6.50
