Answer 1

Answer:

$22.67

Step-by-step explanation:

The school spends 635.85 dollars on passes for 43 students and 2 teachers, then the school spends

$\ 635.85 :(43+2)=\ 14.13$ per person.

The school also spends 367.22 dollars on lunch for just the students, so the school spends

$\ 367.22 :43=\ 8.54$ per person.

In total, a pass and lunch for each student was spent

$\ 14.13+\ 8.54=\ 22.67$
