Step 1. Given Information.

You are saving money for a school trip. You have saved $156. This is $62 less than the trip costs.

Step 2. Calculation.

Let x represent the total cost of the trip.

We have been given that we have already saved an amount of $156 for the trip and we still need $62.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

$x - 62 = 156$

Let us solve for x.

$\begin{matrix} x - 62 = 156 \\ x - 62 + 62 = 156 + 62 (Adding 62 on both sides) \\ x = 218 \end{matrix}$

Therefore, the total cost of the trip would be $218.

Step 3. Conclusion.

The total cost of the trip would be $218.
