As given

Twenty-five members of the eighth grade class at Park Center Middle School are going to a museum and then to lunch.

Each student must pay an entrance fee to the museum and $7.25 for lunch.

The total cost for the trip is $443.75.

x = $262.5

Thus the entrance fee of the 25 students be $262.5

Entrance cost for one student = $10.5

Therefore the  entrance fee for one student be $10.5
