Question

The amusement park has two plans available for the school to choose from. Plan A is listed in the table below.

Answer 1

Answer:

the second plan should be purchased.

Step-by-step explanation:

school budget is $7200

plan 1: 241 students are $30 each is

241 × 30 = $7230 which is over budget with no money for parking for the vehicles.

plan 2: 241 students are $28 each is

241 × 28 = $6748

with a budget of $7200 for the trip the amount left for parking is

$7200 - $6748 = $452

plan 2: Parking is $15 per vehicle

Therefore the remaining $452 can be used to pay for 452 ÷ 15 = 30.13 vehicles

The school should purchase Plan 2 for the field trip.

The budget of $7200 can pay for 241 tickets for students and parking for 30 vehicles
