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.

Consider the function f(x<span>) = 2 x + 1. We recognize the equation y = 2 x + 1 as the Slope-Intercept form of the equation of a line with slope 2 and y-intercept (0,1). Think of a point moving on the </span>graph<span> of f. As the point moves toward the right it rises.

Answer:
The answer is the 2nd one
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
6 or 6/1
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x= 2.73cm
<u>1cm : 0.6828 = 4cm : 2.73cm</u>
For the same angle we just work out 1cm first.
a^2+ b^2= c^2
0.82^2 + b^2 = 1^2 = changing to units 10
6.724 + b^2 = 10
10-6.724 = 2.276
Then x 3 and change units down by 10= 0.6828
Step-by-step explanation:
Below shows why we must convert to mm from cm
a^2+ b^2= c^2
0.82^2 + b^2 = 1^2 =
0.6724 + b^2 = 1
1 - 0.6724 = b = 0.2276
0.2276 x 3 = 0.6828 cm
