Here's your first step:

What is the next step?
A is the correct answer.
10.50
To determine the entrance fee for one student, we need to subtract the cost of lunch from the total cost and then divide the result by the number of students.
Let's break down the problem:
Total cost for the trip = $443.75
Lunch cost for each student = $7.25
Number of students = 25
First, let's calculate the total cost of lunches for all the students:
Total lunch cost = $7.25 x 25 = $181.25
Next, subtract the lunch cost from the total cost to find the entrance fee:
Entrance fee = Total cost - Lunch cost
Entrance fee = $443.75 - $181.25 = $262.50
Now, we need to find the entrance fee per student by dividing the total entrance fee by the number of students:
Entrance fee per student = Entrance fee / Number of students
Entrance fee per student = $262.50 / 25 = $10.50
So, the correct answer is A. $10.50.
