For the Black Panther Trip 420 students were scheduled to go. After collecting more parent surveys, 15% more students are going on the trip. Each admission ticket cost $22.75. What was the total amount paid for all the tickets purchased?

$ 10,988.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first we have to multiply the original number of students scheduled to go to the trip (420) by the added students’ percentage (15%) in decimal form (divided by 100)

420 x (15/100) = 420 x 0.15 = 63 students added

Adding the number of extra students to the original number:

420+63 = 483 students (total number of students)

Finally, we have to multiply the result by the cost of each admission ticket (22.75)

483 x 22.75 = $ 10,988.25  

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
