The cost of one swimming lesson for various numbers of students is given in the table below. How much would each student have to pay for a swimming lesson in a group of 6 students?
# of students Total Cost
1 $40.00
2 $50.00
3 $60.00
4 $70.00 I think the answer is total $90.00 but each would pay $15.00 am I right?
Yes. You're right.
THANK YOU AGAIN MS. SUE looks like I'm getting pretty good with your help LOL
Thank you again

You are very welcome, Kyle. :-)
To determine how much each student would have to pay for a swimming lesson in a group of 6 students, we can divide the total cost by the number of students.
In this case, the cost for 4 students is given as $70.00. To find out the cost for 1 student, we divide $70.00 by 4:
$70.00 / 4 = $17.50
Now, we can use this cost per student for 4 students to find the cost per student for 6 students.
If the cost for 4 students is $17.50 per student, we multiply that by the number of additional students needed to reach 6 (2 more students in this case):
$17.50 * 2 = $35.00
Finally, we add the cost for 4 students and the additional cost for 2 more students:
$70.00 + $35.00 = $105.00
Therefore, each student would have to pay $105.00 / 6 = $17.50 in a group of 6 students.
