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
