$25.27 were spent on a pass and lunch for each student.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total students = 40

Teachers = 4

Amount spent on passes for students and teachers = $696.96

Amount spent on one pass = $\frac{Total\ amount\ spent}{No.\ of\ students\ and\ teachers}$

Amount spent on one pass = $\frac{696.96}{40+4}=\frac{696.96}{44}$

Amount spent on one pass = $\$15.84$

Amount spent of students' lunches = $377.20

Amount spent on one lunch = $\frac{Total\ amount\ spent\ on\ lunches}{No.\ of\ students}$

Amount spent on one lunch = $\frac{377.20}{40} = \$9.43$

Total spent on each student = Amount of one pass + amount of one lunch

$Total\ spent\ on\ each\ student= 15.84+9.43 = \$25.27$

$25.27 were spent on a pass and lunch for each student.
