There are two costs involved:

1) the cost for lunch, which is given as a rate per student: $7.25/student

2) the cost for the trip which is $443.75 to be divided by the 25 students, so it is $443.75 / 25 = $17.75/student

Now, you can add up those two costs per student to have the total cost per student:

$7.25 + $17.75 = $25.00/student

Answer: $25.00
