Solution

Step 1: Calculate the discount amount. The discount is 32% of the original price. So, we multiply the original price by the discount rate (in decimal form).

Discount = 45800.32=4580 * 0.32 = 1465.6

Step 2: Subtract the discount from the original price to find the total cost.

Total cost = Original price - Discount = 45804580 - 1465.6 = $3114.4

Step 3: Divide the total cost by the number of students to find the cost per student.

Cost per student = Total cost / Number of students = 3114.4/309=3114.4 / 309 = 10.08

So, each student had to pay approximately $10.08.
