The Art Club is planning on attending a museum. The admission cost is $10 for adults and $7.50 for students. If they plan on having 2 adults attend as chaperones and have $150 saved from a fundraiser, what is the maximum number of students who can attend?
2*$10=$20
$150-$20=$130
$130/$7.50=17.333...
so the answer is 17
To determine the maximum number of students who can attend the museum, we need to consider the cost of admission for both adults and students.
Let's calculate the total cost for two adults attending as chaperones:
2 adults x $10 per adult = $20
Now, let's calculate the amount of money available for student admission:
Total fundraiser savings - Cost for adult chaperones = $150 - $20 = $130
Next, let's find out how many students can attend with the remaining money:
Cost for each student = $7.50
Maximum number of students = Available money / Cost per student
Maximum number of students = $130 / $7.50
Using division, we find that the maximum number of students who can attend the museum is approximately 17.
To find the maximum number of students who can attend the museum, we need to determine how much money is available after the cost of chaperones. Let's break down the calculations step by step:
1. Calculate the cost of the chaperones:
- The admission cost for 2 adults is $10/adult x 2 adults = $<<10*2=20>>20.
2. Determine the remaining budget after considering the costs of the chaperones:
- Subtract the cost of chaperones from the total saved amount: $150 - $20 = $<<150-20=130>>130.
3. Calculate the maximum number of students who can attend with the remaining budget:
- Divide the remaining budget by the cost per student: $130 รท $7.50/student = <<130/7.5=17.33>>17.33.
- Since we cannot have a fraction of a student attending, we need to round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the maximum number of students who can attend is 17.
Thus, the Art Club can bring a maximum of 17 students to the museum with the given budget.
