Answer to Problem 12P

The number of students went for the computer museum is 19 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Total cost for the trip was $240 and total number of students not decided to go for the trip was 4 .

Also the increase in the cost by $2 .

Formula:

The quadratic equation b±b24ac2a .

Calculation:

Consider that the student went for the trip was x .

Total cost for the trip was $240 .

Then the cost for 1 student will be 240x .

Since as mentioned above that total number of students not decided to go for the trip was 4 .

Therefore the number of student went for the trip was (x4) .

Then cost was increased by $2 .

Therefore total cost for the trip will be 240x+2 .

Cost for 1 student will be 240x4 .

Therefore 240x+2=240x4 .

Therefore 240x+2=240x4240x4240x=2240(x)240(x4)x(x4)=2960=2x28x2x28x960=0x24x480=0.

Recall the quadratic equation b±b24ac2a where a=1,b=4,c=480 .

Therefore

  (4)±(4)2+4×1×4802x=4±16+19202x=4±19362x=4±442x=462,402x=23,20.

Therefore total number of student went for the computer museum was (x4)=234=19 .

Here we reject x=20 as the student cannot be in negative.
