a field trip will cost 7 dollars per student. write an expression to find the cost of the field trip for s students. what is the total cost if 26 students go on the trip?
7s = Cost
7 * 26 = ?
182
To find the cost of the field trip for s students, you can write an expression using the formula "cost per student × number of students." In this case, the cost per student is $7 and the number of students is s. Therefore, the expression to find the cost would be:
Cost = $7 × s
To calculate the total cost if 26 students go on the trip, you substitute s with 26 in the expression:
Cost = $7 × 26
= $182
So, the total cost of the field trip if 26 students go on the trip would be $182.
