Answer:

The zoo will cost more money for a group of 12 students to visit.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to divide the costs by the amount of tickets to find out how much you would have to pay for one ticket.

Science Center: $36.76 ÷ 3 = $12.25

Zoo: $51 ÷ 4 = $12.75

Then, the cost for one ticket should be multiplied by 12, the group of students wanting to visit.

Science Center: $12.25 x 12 = $147.04

Zoo: $12.75 x 12 = $153

Comparing the prices, you will see that the zoo will cost $5.96 more dollars than the science center.

Each ticket to the science center is about 12.25. ( i did this by dividing 36.76 by 3)

Each ticket for the zoo is 12.75. ( 51 divided by 4)

12.25x12=147 —> cost for 12 students to the science center

12.75x12–> 153–> cost for 12 student to the zoo

therefore the zoo is more expensive by $6.
