Question

A school is arranging a field trip to the zoo. The school spends 654.36 dollars on passes for 34 students and 4 teachers. The school also spends 303.96 dollars on lunch for just the students. How much money was spent on a pass and lunch for each student?

Answer 1

Answer:

Pass = $17.22

Lunch = $8.94

Step-by-step explanation:

People = 34 + 4 = 38

Pass price per person = 654.36 / 38 = $17.22

Lunch price per student = 303.96 / 34 =$8.94

Pass = $17.22

Lunch = $8.94

Answer 2

Answer: $17.22 was spent on a pass and $8.94 on lunch for each student and that implies a total of $26.16 was spent on each student

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 654.36 was spent on passes for 34 student and 4 teachers. Then it implies 654.36 was spent on 38 people.

To get the amount spent on each student; 654.36 / 38 = $17.22

This means $17.22 was spent on passes for each student.

Also a total of 303.96 was spent on student lunch. Since there are 34 student, to get the amount spent on lunch for each student, we simple divide 303.96 by 34

i.e 303.96 / 34 = $8.94

So for each student, $17.22 was spent on passes and $8.94 on lunch.

And so a total of $17.22 + $8.94 =$26.16 was spent on both passes and lunch for each student.
