It costs $95 for 20 students to visit an aquarium. How much does it cost for 162 students?

Set up a proportion:

\(\frac{dollars}{students} = \frac{dollars}{students}\)
\(\frac{95}{20}= \frac{x}{162}\)

Now cross multiply:
\(95*1620=15390\)
\(20*x=20x\)

Set it up as an equation:
\(15390=20x\)

Divide both sides by 20:
\(15390/20\)
 
And you get:
x=769.5

But you cannot have a half of a student so you will round it up:

x=770 students.
