Question

Twenty-five members of the eighth grade class at Park Center Middle School are going to a museum and then to lunch. Each student must pay an entrance fee to the museum and $7.25 for lunch. The total cost for the trip is $443.75. What is the entrance fee for one student?

A. $10.50

B. $17.46

C. $17.75

D. $61.21

Answer 1

let X be the entrance fee to the museum..

25( $x + $7.25 ) = $443.75
$25x + $181.25 = $443.75
25x = $443.75-$181.25
x = $262.50/25
x = $10.50

Answer=A
