Question

A school is arranging a field trip to the zoo. The school spends 737.38 dollars on passes for 44

students and 2 teachers. The school also spends 393.36 dollars on lunch for just the students.
How much money was spent on a pass and lunch for each student?

Answer 1

Explanation:

since there is no other information, we have to assume that the prices for student passes and teacher passes are the same.

therefore, the pass price per person is

$737.38 / (44 + 2) = $737.38 / 46 = $16.03

and the lunch costs per student are

$393.36 / 44 = $8.94

altogether,

$16.03 + $8.94 = $24.97

was spent for each student.
