Please help me with ideas and solving

A new nonprofit (less than 3 years old) focused on enhancing outdoor experiences for K-12 students in Denver, Colorado is considering a new summer program called Urban to Mountains Express (UME). UME will transport Denver students to some of Colorados best mountain locations, where students will engage in fun/educational activities and learn through hands-on experience about the natural beauty of their state, the Rocky Mountains, and its ecosystems. After surveying their current client families, the organization figures about 650 students will be interested. To pay for instructor salaries, permits needed for mountain activities, and bus rentals (within the activity range), UME figures it will have a fixed cost of $25,000. Variable costs (additional chaperones, hiking equipment and gear, food and beverages, etc.) will be $75 per student. If each students family paid, either through donations or out-of-pocket, $100 for the summer program, (a) how many students will need to enroll for the UME program to break even, (b) should the nonprofit offer the program with the given information, and (c) what could the organization attempt to change (this is only in theorythere are no right or wrong answers) in order to provide the program and improve its financial outlook? Please show all calculations and justify all of your answers with logic.
