Question

The LaSalle High School senior class raised funds for an end of the year cruise getaway. The city gave them a special package for the port fees and taxes - a flat fee of $1,500 for the entire class's port fees and taxes. It costs $367 per student to board the cruise. If your class raised $16,600, how many students can attend?

Answer 1

First you take the the class raised $16600 and than you subtract the port fees and taxes $1500 and you take that total and divide by the cost per student $367 and you will get the amount of students that can go just round to the nearest whole number because you can't have parts of people.
 

Answer 2

To find this answer, first subtract 1,500 from the amount your class raises (16, 600) so you are just left with the 'leftover' money for students to board.

16600-1500= 15100.

Then, divide 15100 into 367 to find out how many can go.

15100/367= 41.1444. Round down to 41.

41 students can attend, and there will be a bit of leftover money. (if you want to figure out how much is left over, multiply 41 by 367, and then subtract 15100 by the product)
