Mrs. Matherne received a grant to take some of her students on a field trip to the Audubon Zoo. Before she could release the permission slips to the students, she had to determine how many students she could take on the field trip. The total amount of the grant that she received $1,250.00. The grant total was to pay for the round trip bus ride and each students' admission ticket to the zoo. The round trip bus ride will cost $350, and the admission into the zoo is $10.00 per student.

Part B: SOLVE the algebraic equation and determine how many students can attend the field trip. (SHOW YOUR WORK)

Respuesta :

In this problem, we build and solve an expression.

a)

The expression is:

[tex]350 + 10s = 1250[/tex]

b) 90 students can attend the field trip.

Item a:

The spendings are:

  • Round trip bus ride of $350.
  • $10 per student s.

Thus, in total:

[tex]350 + 10s[/tex]

Has $1,250.00 to spend, thus:

[tex]350 + 10s = 1250[/tex]

Item b:

The number of students that can attend the trip is the solution for s, thus:

[tex]350 + 10s = 1250[/tex]

[tex]10s = 900[/tex]

[tex]s = \frac{900}{10}[/tex]

[tex]s = 90[/tex]

Then, 90 students can attend the field trip.
