Answer: $25.87 per student

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to find the cost of a pass, divide $629.28 by 38, the number of students plus teachers.

$629.28/38 = $16.56

Then, to find the cost of a lunch, divide $325.85 by 35,

$325.28/35 = $9.31

Finally, add the costs of a pass and a lunch, $16.56 and $9.31.

$16.56 + $9.31 = $25.87
