Given the statement:
There are 347 students going on a field trip. Each bus holds 44 students.
Determine if the total cost is more than $1000, if each bus charges $95.
Solution:
We must first find the number of busses that is needed for the field trip. This can be solved by dividing the total number of students by 44.
= 347/44
= 7.8
Round to the nearest whole number since we are taking the exact value needed.
= 8
8 bus is needed for the field trip.
Multiply 8 by $95 to determine the total cost.
= (8)($95)
= $760
Final answer:
The total cost is not more $1000 since the total cost is only $760.
