10 students would spend $30.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, start by looking for the cost per student. We can do this by dividing the overall cost by the number of students.

$12/4 students = $3 per student.

Now we take that unit rate and multiply by the new number of students.

$3 * 10 students = $30 total spent.
