Manuel Spence · Answer 1

The admission fee was $8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Each student paid f + 6 dollars (the museum's admission fee and $6 for lunch)

2. The entire class paid 24 * (f + 6) dollars (24 students visited the museum)

3. 24 * (f + 6) = 336 (The class spent a total of $336.)

4. 24f + 144 = 336

5. 24f = 336 - 144

f = 192/24

f = 8
