Answer 1

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

the school will pay: 180 × (80÷100)

                                  = 144

the remaining amount is: 180 - 144

                                           = 36

if each student is paying 1.50 then no. of students is equal to: 36÷1.5

                                                                                                           = 24
