Question 1034003: The marching band is going to march next year. The rate for plane tickets is $40,000, and the hotel bill will be $15,000. Each member will have to contribute $225 for the cost of buses and food, plus an equal share of the airline fee and the hotel bill. If each member of the band contributes $500 for the trip, how many band members can go to the parade next year?
Equation and answer . Thanks very much.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! If I understand the problem, each band member is contributing 500-225 = $275 toward the airfare and hotel bills.
The total cost is $40,000 + $15,000 = $55,000.
That means that $55,000 / $275 = 200 band members can go...
