My question is: At a school, 40% of the students receive a free lunch. These lunches are paid for by making sure the price paid by the paying students is enough to cover everyone's meal. If it costs $210 to feed 50 students, how much do the paying students pay for lunch? Your thoughts:
60% of the students pay for the lunch because 100 - 40 = 60. 30 students pay for lunch because 50 x .6 = 30. These students pay $7 for their lunch because 210 / 30 = 7. The final answer: 7.
