Learners plan a class trip budget with four operations.

A trip costs 45 cedis for each of 28 learners plus 180 cedis for transport. If 120 cedis is donated, what remains?

  1. Multiply first for learner costs: 45 x 28 = 1,260, then add transport: 1,260 + 180 = 1,440.
  2. Subtract the donation: 1,440 - 120 = 1,320 cedis remaining.
