Asked by Angelia

A middle school wants to have its students see a movie at a local theater. The total cost of the theater and movie rental is $1,500. What equation shows how the cost per student depends on the number of students who attend?

I'm not really sure what this question is asking me to do.

The cost per each student depends on the number of students.

If 100 students attend, then we divide 1,500 by 100 = $15. per student.
If 300 students attend, then we divide 1,500 by 300 = $5.00 each.

You need to write an equation showing how the cost per student depends on the number of students who attend.
