the teachers of bethany school want to take students to a field trip.It costs $1000 to rent a bus and a $10 per student for the day's activities.Write a rule for the total cost of the trip for nay number of student.
1,000 + 10s
To calculate the total cost of the field trip for any number of students, we need to consider two components: the cost of renting the bus and the cost per student for the day's activities.
1. The cost of renting the bus is a fixed cost of $1000.
2. The cost per student for the day's activities is $10 per student.
To write a rule for the total cost of the trip for any number of students (n), we can use the formula:
Total Cost = Cost of renting the bus + (Cost per student x Number of students)
In this case, the rule for the total cost (C) would be:
C = $1000 + ($10 x n)
So, the total cost of the field trip for any number of students (n) can be calculated by substituting the value of n in the above formula and solving for C.
