Question

3. Forty percent of the 395 students at Red Cliff
Elementary School pack their lunches
(instead of buying) on a daily basis. If the
remainder of the students buy their lunches
each day and the average student pays $2.46
for a school lunch, which value is closest to
the total amount of money that the school
collects for lunches over the course of a 180-
day school year.

Answer 1

Answer:

104,943.60

Step-by-step explanation:

40% of 395 is 158. the remainder of the students (the 60%) pays for their lunch instead of packing. 60% of 395 is 237, so 237 students pay for their lunch. if 237 students spend $2.46 for lunch each day for 180 days, the school would collect 104,943.60 .
