Students*

anonymous · Answer

50 students means
50 * 30 = 1500 dollars for student tickets
50 / 5 = 10 adults required
10 * 45 = 450 dollars for adult tickets
1500 + 450 = 1950 dollars needed
1950 / 50 = each student must pay 39 dollars!

anonymous · Answer

Wait, does the $1800 raised mean the students don't have to pay that amount?
IF so,
1950 - 1800 = 150 dollars needed
150 / 50 = 3 dollars needed from each student after using the 1800 raised
