WHAT IS THE EQUATION: Tamara is going with her class on a three-day field trip. the cost of the trip is $76 per student. the pri
ce includes $14 per night for two nights in a hotel. Tamara will also receive six meal tickets. Each meal ticket costs the same amount. how much does each meal ticket cost?
The cost is $76 per student so first we subtract the cost of two nights at the hotel which together is $28.
$76 - $28 =$48
Now the money left is $48 which is supposed to be used for the six meal tickets. so, to find the cost of 1 meal ticket we just have to divide the remaining amount of money by 6.
First you would find out how many ounces are in 8 pounds, which would be 128. then do 128/5 to get 25.6 < that would be how many apples are in 8 pounds. Next you would do 224/28 to find out how many of the 8 pounds you can buy for 224 dollars. so you get 8 from that. So now we do 25.6*8 to get 204.8 apples.
