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

Answer:

C = 600 + 50s

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s be the number of students that go on the trip.

Let C be the cost.

The bus costs $600 and the entry fee (for each student) costs $50.

The cost for the trip will be the sum of the cost of the bus and the ticket for every student that goes on the trip.

This implies that the total cost for the trip will be:

C = 600 + 50(s)

C = 600 + 50s
