Francis Flores · Answer 1

A.$30 students = $525

60 students = $1050

B. C=250 + (17.50s)

C. c=250 + (17.50s)

Last one you do 1000-250=750/17.50=41 students can go.

I did this because you have a budget of 1000 and 250 already on the bus. So 1000-250=750. And the rest of the money is for science students!

A. (30 students 525) (60 students 1050)
