The cost of renting a bus for a field trip was split evenly among 20 students. At the last minute, 10 more students joined the t

rip. The cost of renting the bus was then evenly redistributed among all of the students. The cost for each of the original 20 students decreased by $1.50. What was the total cost of renting the bus, in dollars?

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.

which is the solutions to the system of equations shown { 3x - y = 6 and here is the other equation{ x - 2y = -18
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

(6, 12)

Step-by-step explanation:

{ 3x - y = 6

{ x - 2y = -18

by using elimination:

6x -2y=12

x - 2y= -18

________-

5x = 30

x = 6

y = 18-6 = 12

the solutions = {(6, 12)}

cricket20 [7]

Answer: 11

Students have both a brother and a sister

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't think probability should be used for this question because the answer is quite clear

So in a class of 25 students

5 students don't have a sibling

So 25-5=20

Total number of siblings=14+17=31 siblings in total

So 20 people have 31 siblings

31-20=11

So the answer should be 11

Wasn’t sure how to write this out : - )
amid [387]

we are given

\frac{\sqrt[3]{7}\sqrt{7}}{\sqrt[6]{7^5}}

we can write it in terms of exponents

\frac{7^{\frac{1}{3}}*7^{\frac{1}{2}}}{7^{\frac{5}{6}}}

Firstly , we will simplify numerator

\frac{7^{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{2}}}{7^{\frac{5}{6}}}

now, we can add exponents

\frac{7^{\frac{5}{6}}}{7^{\frac{5}{6}}}

we can cancel it

and we get

=1............Answer
