It must be true that the trip's cost was greater than the revenue raised from funding sources other than the bake sale. The question asks what MUST be true based on the passage. If the organization could have raised enough money from other sources, then the bake sale revenue would not have mattered (note the that passage said the bake sale would "partially fund" the trip).
