Question

The lassos high school senior class raised funds for an end of the year cruise getaway. The city gave them a special package for the port fees and taxes a flat fee of $1’500 for the entire class’s port fees and taxes. It costs $367 per student to board the cruise. If your class raised $16,600, how many students can attend?

Answer 1

Explanation:

x = total number of students

1500 + 367x = 16,600

367x = 16,600 - 1500

367x = 15100

x = 15100 / 367

x = 41.14.......rounds to 41 students <==

this only works if the port fees and taxes that the city gave them are included in the money the class raised
