Respuesta :

Answer:

Approximately 41 students can attend the inauguration

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes number of students who can attend the inauguration.

Cost per student for food and lodging = $ 750

So,

Total cost = $ 750 x

Also,

Amount of rent = $ 11,500

As Barack Obama High School raised $42,350 for travel costs to travel to the 2021 inauguration in Washington D.C,

[tex]750x+11,500=42,350\\750x=42,350-11,500\\750x=30,850\\x=\frac{30,850}{750}\\ x=41.1[/tex]

So, approximately 41 students can attend the inauguration
