Question

A school band went on a trip to a music festival. The band director was admitted for free, but it cost $100 to rent a bus for the trip and $4 for each student to get into the festival. The total cost of the trip was $244. Which equation can be used to find s, the number of students that went on the trip?

Answer 1

100 + 4s = 244

Explanation:

Let s be the number of students that went on the trip.

Each student had to pay 4$ to get into the festival

So, the cost of the ticket of "s" students = 4s

Bus rent + cost of the ticket for "s" students = 100 + 4s = 244

So the equation used is 100 + 4s = 244

Answer 2

`100 + 4s = 244`
