Question 1091329: The eSummer School class want to go to WONDERLAND for their end of summer trip.
It cost $800 to rent a bus and $12 per student for admission to the park.
Let n represent the number of students who go on the trip
Let C represent total cost of the trip
If the total cost of the trip is $1280 how many students attended the trip?

The equation is cost of bus $800 plus $12n, where n is the number of students. This equals 1280.
$800+12n=$1280
subtract $800 from both sides
12n=$480
n=40 students
