Question

At the amusement park each student is given $16 for food this covers the cost of $2 plus $4 for snacks how much money does the school expect student to spend per meal

Answer 1

Answer:

$6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent cost of each meal. So the cost of 2 meals would be $2x$.

We have been given that  the amusement park each student is given $16 for food. This covers cost of 2 meals plus $4 for snacks. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$2x+4=16$

Let us solve for x.  

$2x+4-4=16-4$

$2x=12$

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{12}{2}$

$x=6$

Therefore, the school expect student to spend $6 per meal.

Answer 2

The school expects them to spend $10 dollars.
