Answer:
C = 600 + 50s Vikas recruits 43 students for this trip. Vikas will receive free trip Step-by-step explanation: Entry fees for park per student = $50 No. of students = s total fees for s students = Entry fees for park per student *No. of students total fees for s students = $50 *s = $50s Cost of bus transport = $600 Therefore, total cost of trip for s students(C)= Cost of bus transport + total fees for s students = $600 + $50s C = 600 + 50s given C = $2750 2750 = 600 + 50s => 50s = 2750 - 600 = 2150 => s = 2150/50 = 43 Therefore, Vikas recruits 43 students for this trip. Total capacity of bus = 46 90% of capacity of bus = 90/100*46 = 41.4 Given that Vikas will receive free of trip , if bus he is able to fill 90% of the bus. As he has filled 43 seats while 90% capacity is 41.4 hence Vikas will receive free trip.
