To determine how much the student council can spend per student on food, we need to subtract the cost of renting the park shelter from the total budget.
Total budget: $2000
Cost to rent park shelter: $150
Remaining budget for food: $2000 - $150 = $1850
Next, we need to calculate the total amount for the gift cards that will be given to the students.
Gift card amount per student: $3.50
Number of students: 225
Total gift card amount: $3.50 x 225 = $787.50
Finally, we subtract the total gift card amount from the remaining budget for food to determine how much can be spent per student on food.
Remaining budget for food: $1850
Total gift card amount: $787.50
Remaining budget for food per student: ($1850 - $787.50) / 225 = $4.50 per student
Therefore, the student council can spend $4.50 per student on food.
The school has budgeted $2000 for 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 students receives a $3.50 gift card.
