    The total cost of the event will be a fixed cost of $3000 plus a variable cost of $25/student times 20 students = $500. Thus the entire cost of the event is $3500. If the university wishes to break even with an attendance figure of 20 students, then the price per person will need to be $3500/20 = $175 per person.

    The answer is "$175".

    cost to reserve a room, hire an instructor, and bring in the equipment = $3000

    costs per student for the administrators to provide the course materials = $25

    people who will attend = 20

    first calculate the total cost = $3000 + ($25 x 20)

    =$3000 + $500 = $3500

    Now divide this by number of people attending = $3500/20 = $175
