Answer 1

Answer:

30 pounds left over

Step-by-step explanation:

A school allots £3000 to spend on a trip to the heatre.

Theatre tickets have a regular cost of £42 each and are on offer for 1/6 off

therefore 5%2F6*42 = 35# for the tickets

:

A train ticket for the day will cost £20 each.

therefore total cost for each: 35 + 20 = 55 pounds each

:

If 2 teachers and the maximum number of students attend, how much money will the school have left over?

:

let s = no. of students

55(s+2) =< 3000

55s + 110 =< 3000

55s =< 3000 - 110

55s =< 2890

s =< 2890/55

s =< 52.545, 52 students max

:

find how much left over. plus 2 teachers = 54 people

3000 - 55(54) =

3000 - 2970 = 30 pounds left over
