    Step-by-step explanation:

    The total amount of money is £1500

    Cost per person:

    Theatre tickets cost is on offer = £45 (100%-15%) = 38.25 A train ticket for the day will cost £12 each.

    = $52.25

    => cost of 3 teachers: 52.25*3 = 150.75

    => cost of students = 1500 - 150.75 = 1349.25

    Let x is the number of students (x is a whole number), and we know each student cost 52.25, so we have the equation:

    52.25X = 1349.25

    x ≈25.8 = 25 is the maximum number of students attend

    So the cost of 25 students = 25*52.25 = 1360.25

    => money will the school have left over = 1349.25 - 1360.25 = 43
