Question

The school has budgeted $2,000 for an end of Year party at the local park. The cost to rent the park shelter is $150. How much can the student council spend per student on food if each of the 225 student receives a $3.50 gift?

Answer 1

$2000 - 150= 1850. 225 X 3.50=787.50. 1850-787.50=1062.50. The student council can spend $1062.50 on food.
