Question

The lasalle high school class raised funds for an end of the year cruise getaway the city gave them a special package for the port fees and taxes a flat fee of $1,500 for the entire class's port and taxes it costs $367 per student to board cruise if your class raised $16600 how many students can attend

Answer 1

Since we don't know how much students there is going to be, let's assume it's x. 367x+1500=16600. 16600-1500=15100. We have to isolate x by itself so 15100/367 which equals 41.14etc And round it to 41 since there can't be a decimal of a student. Hope this helped.
