The one-time entry fee is $12.

In order to determine the one-time entry fee, two equations have to be formed from the information in the question:

x + 5y = 42 equation 1

x + 7y = 54 equation 2

Where:

x = one-time entry fee

y = cost to pick an apple per pound

In order to determine the one-time entry fee, take the following steps:

Multiply equation 1 by 7 and equation 2 by 5.

7x + 35y = 294 equation 3

5x + 35y = 270 equation 4

Subtract equation 4 from equation 3

2x =24

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

x = $12

There are a total of 297 students in the 7th grade. Rough estimates would say that about half of that number are boys and half are girls. Asking only 50 random girls would be biased because not only would it not be all of the girls (the number of girls would be around 148 or 149) but it would also be ignoring the roughly 148 to 149 boys there are on estimate. The sample would be biased because it would be ignoring the opinions of more than half the seventh grade.
