The first step is to multiply the $7.25 for lunch by the 25 students

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you solve that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

181.25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK. subtract that from the total cost of $443.75

OpenStudy (anonymous):

368.75

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now divide that by 25 to get the cost of a ticket

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14.75

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let me check the math and see where we messed up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok :s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When you subtracted the 181.25 you should have gotten 262.50 not 368.75

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10.50

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So divide 262.50 by 25 and see what you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep :)
