The Parent Teacher Organization has raised $1800 to help pay for a year-end trip to an amusement park. They ask that there be one adult for every five students attending. Adult tickets cost $45 and student tickets cost $30. If the group wants to take 50 students, how much will each student need to pay so that adults agreeing to chaperone pay nothing?

each student will need to pay $75 see when you add 45+30= 75 times 50=3750 so divide it by 50 and you get $75

Answer:

$3

Step-by-step explanation:

To pay for 50 students and 10 adults:

50($30)+10($45)=$1500+$450=$1950

They have collected $1800, so they are $150 short.

$150/50students=$3/student

ANSWER: Each student must pay $3.00.
