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.

Let x = speed and y = distance
y = x * 45
y = (x - 4) * 70
45x = 70x - 280
-25x = -280
x = 11.2
Put it back into the first equation:
y = 11.2 x 45
y = 504miles

a. The inequality 15x+300≤750 represents the situation.
b. It means that the band can spend at most $30 on each uniform without exceeding the budget.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Budget = $750
Competition fee = $300
Uniforms to make = 15
Let,
x be the amount for each uniform.
a. Write an inequality to represent this situation.
Uniforms to make * Cost per uniform + Competition ≤ Budget
15x+300 ≤ 750
The inequality 15x+300≤750 represents the situation.
b. Solve the inequality and describe what it means in the situation.
Dividing both sides by 15
It means that the band can spend at most $30 on each uniform without exceeding the budget.
