80 students are going on a field trip to the history Museum. The total cost includes to bus rentals and $10 per student for lunch. What is a total cost per student?
Please show work!
I have no clue but i have the same question and can't figure it out
no idea how much the bus costs.
just the facts, ma'am.
But, once you decide how much a bus costs, say x, then the cost per student is clearly (assuming you meant "two" bus rentals)
2x/80 + 10
To find the total cost per student, we need to calculate the total cost of the bus rentals and lunch and then divide it by the number of students.
Let's break down the problem step by step:
1. Calculate the total cost of the bus rentals: Since there are two buses, we need to multiply the cost of one bus rental by 2.
Bus rentals = $X (cost of one bus rental)
Total cost of bus rentals = $X x 2
2. Calculate the total cost for lunch: Since each student pays $10 for lunch, we need to multiply $10 by the number of students.
Lunch cost per student = $10
Total cost for lunch = $10 x 80
3. Find the total cost: Add the total cost of bus rentals and the total cost for lunch.
Total cost = Total cost of bus rentals + Total cost for lunch
4. Calculate the total cost per student: Divide the total cost by the number of students.
Total cost per student = Total cost / Number of students
Now, let's substitute the given values and solve the problem:
Given:
- Number of students = 80
- Cost of one bus rental = $X
1. Total cost of bus rentals = $X x 2
2. Total cost for lunch = $10 x 80
3. Total cost = Total cost of bus rentals + Total cost for lunch
4. Total cost per student = Total cost / Number of students
So, to find the total cost per student, we need to know the cost of one bus rental ($X). Once we have that information, we can substitute it into the calculations and solve the problem.
