A school allots £1500 to spend on a trip to the theatre. Theatre tickets have a regular cost of £25 each and are on offer for 1/5 off.
A train ticket for the day will cost £15 each.
If 2 teachers and the maximum number of students attend, how many students go on the trip?

40 students

Step-by-step explanation:

If the tickets are 1/5 that means they cost 4/5

25 * 4/5 = 20

The tickets cost 20 and the train costs 15 so the total per person is 35

Teachers: 2 at 35 = 70

1500 -70 = 1430

Take 1430 / 35 =40.85714286

We can send 40 students

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

−3

x=17

answer:

x=17
