total cost is equal to 2 * 960 + 10 * 80.
cost per student would be that / 80.
your equation becomes total cost per student = (2 * 960 + 10 * 80) / 80.
that comes out to be 34 dollars per student.

multiply that by 80 to get a total cost of 2720.
2 * 960 + 10 * 80 = 1920 + 800 = 2720.
the equation is confirmed to be good.
