Answer:

£36

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that School allots £3000 to spend on a trip to the theatre. With regular cost of tickets of £40 each with offer for 1/5 off

Then the cost of each ticket with 1/5 off= (4/5×40)= £32

From the question, A train ticket for the day will cost £20 each.

Then total cost for each of it = £32+£20

=£52

To determine how much money that the school will have left over, If 3 teachers and the maximum number of students attend, can be expressed below by first calculating the number of students.

Let us denote the number of students as "x"

52(x+3)= < 3000

52x + 156 =< 3000

52x =< 3000 - 156

52x =< 2844

X =< 2844/52

s =< 54.69,

The max. Number of students is 54

Total number of people= Number of students + the 3 teachers

= 54+3= 57

Total cost for 57 people= (£52 × 57 people)= £2964

The amount of money the school will have as left over = (£3000 - £2964)

= £36
