Question

The science club is planning a field trip to a museum. Each student will pay $10 for admission and an equal share of the $200 transportation cost. The total cost per student is given by the expression LaTeX: C=\frac{200}{S}+10C = 200 S + 10, where LaTeX: SS is the number of students that went on the field trip. What does the term LaTeX: \frac{200}{S}200 S in the expression represent?

Answer 1

Answer: $\dfrac{200}{S}$ represents the transport cost per student in the expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: For trip,

Admission fee per student = $10

Transport cost (for all students0 = $200

Here, S represents the number of students  went on the field trip.

Transport cost per student = (Total cost) ÷ Total student

So, $\dfrac{200}{S}$ represents the transport cost per student.

Hence,  $\dfrac{200}{S}$ represents the transport cost per student in the expression.
