Given:
City donation = 1,500
Cost per student = 367
Total amount raised = 16,600
let x be the unknown number.
357x = 16,600
x = 16,600 / 357
x = 46.50
Since the government already shouldered the port fees and taxes, the funds raised will be allotted solely to the purchase of the tickets.
At the cost of 357 per student, the 16,600 budget can pay for 46 students.
46 * 357 = 16,422
16,600 - 16,422 = 178 excess budget or savings.
