Answer to Problem 6STP

Expression of option H represents the total cost of senior trip.

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Total students in a senior class is 297,

The cost of each student for trip is $150,

Consider T is the total cost of the senior trip,

  $\begin{array}{l}T=\text{Cost of one student}\times \text{No of student}\\ =150\times 297\end{array}$

Now the answer in option is not simple, so modified according to given option,

The value 297 can be writing as $300-3$ ,

  $T=150\left(300-3\right)$

Therefore expression of option H represents the total cost of senior trip.
