Question

Mrs. Jennings wants to take her class on a field trip to the museum. The bus will cost a total of $100, and the museum will charge $2 per student. The museum does not charge teachers for admission. What is the maximum number of students that Mrs. Jennings can take to the museum without exceeding her budget of $150?

Answer 1

Let's call the maximum number of students Mrs. Jennings can take to the museum x.

The cost of the bus is $100, so Mrs. Jennings will have $150 - $100 = $<<150-100=50>>50 left to spend on student tickets.

Each student ticket costs $2, so the maximum number of student tickets Mrs. Jennings can buy is $50 / $2 = <<50/2=25>>25.

Therefore, the maximum number of students that Mrs. Jennings can take to the museum without exceeding her budget is x = 25 students. Answer: \boxed{25}.
