By solving a linear equation, we will see that the total cost for renting the bus is $90.

<h3>What was the total cost of renting the bus, in dollars?</h3>

Let's say that the total cost is C.

When there are 20 students, each student should pay:

p = C/20

When the other 10 students are added (for a total of 30) each student pays:

p' = C/30.

We know that the cost for each of the original 20 students decreased by $1.50, so:

p' = p - $1.50

Then we have 3 equations to work with:

p = C/20

p' = C/30.

p' = p - $1.50

Now we can replace the first and second equations into the third one:

C/30 = C/20 - $1.50

Now we can solve this linear equation for C:

C/20 - C/30 = $1.50

C*( 1/20 - 1/30) = $1.50

C*(30/600 - 20/600) = $1.50

C*(10/600) = $1.50

C*(1/60) = $1.50

C = 60*$1.50 = $90

So the total cost for renting the bus is $90.
