Respuesta :

Given:

The price per student for the admission, m=$5.

Extra amount spent by a student, c=$ 9.

Total amount spent, T=$34.

Let x be the number of students. Then, the expression for the total amount is,

[tex]T=mx+c[/tex]

Substitute values and solve for x.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 34=5x+9 \\ 34-9=5x \\ 25=5x \\ x=\frac{25}{5} \\ x=5 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the number of students is 5.

Option (b) is correct.
