First, add the profit wanted with the costs.

1500 + 200 + 100 = 1800

The total amount wanted is 1800. Each student pays $5, and so you divide by 5

1800/5 = 360

360 students must show up.

The equation used is:

Let student = s

Total cost = 200 + 100

Charge = 5n

Profit = 1500

1500 = 5n - 300 (is equation)

Hope this helps
