It says write an equation to show the relationship between the number of students on the trip n and the cost of the trip c.
---------
Assume the students each pay $100 and there is a $500 amount contributed
by a church. Then the cost for the trip is:
C(x) = 100x + 500 where x is the number of students on the trip.

Sure. let's say your class is heading to a museum. There is a $10 admission charge and the bus to take your there costs $4round trip. It's an all day affair, so each student must bring $6 for lunch.
For you to go, you will need to pay admission+%2B+BusFare+%2B+Food
10+%2B+4+%2B+6+=+20
It costs you $20.
It will also cost every other student who goes $20 too.
So the TotalCost+=+CostPerStudent+%2A+NumberOfStudent
c+=+20+%2A+n
