Respuesta :

Answer:there are 42 students in the club.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the number of students in the club.

Tickets to the museum cost $8. Five students already have a membership to the museum, so they will get in for free. The club raised the $296 needed to take all students in the club to the museum. This means that

8(s - 5) = 296

8s - 40 = 296

8s = 296 + 40 = 336

s = 336/8

s = 42
