Since Jameson Middle School gives bottles of water to teachers and students who are going on a field trip, and the school orders 500 bottles of water and they plan to give 35 bottles of water to teachers, and they ordered at least 2 bottles of water for each student, to determine how many students could be going on the field trip, the following calculation must be performed:
(500 - 35) / 2 = X
465/2 = X
232.5 = X
Thus, the number of students that can go to the field trip is 232.
