Let's assume the number of students attending the field trip is "x".
The cost for renting the school bus is $4,000.
The cost per student for food and drinks is $20.
So, the total cost for food and drinks for x students is 20x.
The total cost of the field trip is the sum of the cost of renting the school bus and the cost of food and drinks:
Total cost = $4,000 + $20x.
It is given that the students raised $15,000.
So, the equation to determine how many students can attend the field trip is:
$4,000 + $20x = $15,000.
Now, we can solve this equation for x:
$20x = $15,000 - $4,000,
$20x = $11,000,
x = $11,000 / $20,
x = 550.
Therefore, 550 students can attend the field trip.
The cost for renting the school bus is $4,000.
The cost per student for food and drinks is $20.
So, the total cost for food and drinks for x students is 20x.
The total cost of the field trip is the sum of the cost of renting the school bus and the cost of food and drinks:
Total cost = $4,000 + $20x.
It is given that the students raised $15,000.
So, the equation to determine how many students can attend the field trip is:
$4,000 + $20x = $15,000.
Now, we can solve this equation for x:
$20x = $15,000 - $4,000,
$20x = $11,000,
x = $11,000 / $20,
x = 550.
Therefore, 550 students can attend the field trip.
