Respuesta :
60000000 students can attend public schools with the current funding
Solution:
Given that Current government spending to fund public schools is about [tex]6 \times 10^{11}[/tex] dollars per year
The average cost nationally for a student to attend a public school for a year is about $10,000
To find: number of students can attend public schools with the current funding
[tex]\text{ current funding } = 6 \times 10^{11} \text{ dollars}[/tex]
[tex]\text{ average cost for 1 student } = 10000 \text{ dollars }[/tex]
Therefore,
[tex]\text{ number of students } = \frac{\text{ current funding }}{\text{ average cost of 1 student}}[/tex]
Substituting the values we get,
[tex]\text{ number of students } = \frac{6 \times 10^{11}}{10000}\\\\\rightarrow \frac{6 \times 10^{11}}{10000} = \frac{6 \times 10^{11}}{10^4}\\\\\rightarrow \frac{6 \times 10^{11}}{10^4} = 6 \times 10^{11-4} = 6 \times 10^7\\\\\rightarrow 6 \times 10^7 = 60000000[/tex]
Thus 60000000 students can attend public schools with the current funding
