Well first you figure out how much more it is to pay for one student. You multiply 12.50 by 1.15 to find that out. This gives you 14.50, which is the price for one student.

To find out the price for 50, just multiply by 50, which is $725.

Answer: $725

Conclusion: This school is ripping people off.
