What is a word problem?

A word problem is a verbal description of a problem situation. It consists of few sentences describing a 'real-life' scenario where a problem needs to be solved by way of a mathematical calculation.

For the given situation,

Grill rental fee = $150

Charge per person for less than 100 students = $5

Charge per person for 100 students or more = $4.25

Total number of students = 125

The total cost for 125 students is

⇒ $[150+5(99)]+[150+4.25(26)]$

⇒ $[150+495]+[150+110.5]$

⇒ $[645]+[260.5]$

⇒ $905.5$

Hence we can conclude that the total cost for 125 students is $905.5.
