Question 312407: A school club is planning a bus trip to the wildlife park. A bus which will hold up to 45 people will cost 600 dollars and admission tickets cost 30 dollars each.
If you intend to charge each person 50 dollars, including bus and admission ticket, what is the minimum number of people who must participate to ensure that these costs are covered?

let the number of persons be x
cost will be 30x +600
50x will be the amount collected.
if the costs have to be met the revenue must be equal to the collection
30x+600=50x
20x =600
x= 30
To break even they have to have a minimum of 30 persons.
