The schoool has budgeted $2,000 for an end of the year party at the local park. The cost to rent the park shelter is $150. How much can the student council spend per student on food if each of the 225 students receives a $3.50 gift?
Well if each student got a gift of $3.50, then that would be $787.05... And $2,000 - $787.05= $1,212.95. So they could spend $1,212.95, BUT, if they rented a park shelter, then they would have $1,062.95 dollars left over to spend.
