To find out how much the student council can spend per student on food, we first need to subtract the cost of renting the park shelter from the budgeted amount.
Budget - Shelter Cost = Remaining Amount for Food
$2000 - $150 = $1850
Now we know that the remaining amount for food is $1850. We also know that there are 225 students and each student is receiving a $3.50 gift card.
To find out how much can be spent per student on food, we divide the remaining amount for food by the number of students.
Remaining Amount for Food / Number of Students = Amount per Student
$1850 / 225 = $8.22 (rounded to the nearest cent)
Therefore, the student council can spend $8.22 per student on food.
The equation related to the problem is:
$2000 - $150 - (225 * $3.50) = $0
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.
