\n" ); document.write( "let the maximum number of students be \"x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The cost of the ski trip is equal to the sum of the cost tickets and the cost of the bus: for \"x\" students, the cost of the tickets will be \"25x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \"800=25x%2B350\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"800-350=25x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"450=25x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=450%2F25\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=18\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, answer is: c) \"18\" students\r
\n" ); document.write( "
