what is D?
I know if 5 teacher travels for 7 nights its 7200 How will I find how many students
You're absolutely right. $7200 is the cost for 7 nights for 5 adults. How much is the cost for 7 nights for 1 student? Then go from there to see how many students could go for the adults' cost.
420$ for 7 nights for one students + 600 which is 1020
7200 = 1020
about 7 kids
7200 = 1020
about 7 kids
I figured 7.05 but of course you can't chop up the students to get 0.05 of one of them so 7 would be correct. And there is a little money left over. See, you were able to do large parts of this.
