on the field trip, how many students
went?

Respuesta :

Answer:

27 students

Step-by-step explanation:

We know

1 student = $5

1 chaperone = $8.25

5 chaperon = $8.25 x 5 = $41.25

Let's solve

$176.25 -  $41.25 = $135

So, we know that the total amount Mrs. Rubio collected from students is $135, then we take

135 / 5 = 27 students

So, 27 students went on the field trip.

Answer:

8.25 × 5 = 41.25

176.25 - 41.25 = 135

5 × x = 135

x = 27

Therefore, 27 students went.
