Question

There are 347 students going on a field trip. Each bus holds 44 students. If each bus costs $95, is the total cost of the buses more than $1,000? Estimate, then find the exact answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Total cost= $760

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Number of students= 347

Each bus holds 44 students.

Bus cost= $95

First, we need to determine the number of buses needed:

Number of buses= total students / student per bus

Number of buses= 347 / 44

Number of buses= 7.88 = 8 buses

Now, the total cost:

Total cost= 8*95

Total cost= $760
