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.

It would be 4/15 is greater.
4/15 = 26% wrong
3/10 = 30% wrong
Answer:
-8/1 or -8
Step-by-step explanation:
when you subtract a negative, it means add. so first lets add the one. we get -8 1/3. then we can add the 1/3. our final answer is -8
Let the number of deluxe that Pacific has be x
the number that Caribbean has will be (x+18)
the number that Mediterranean has will be (3x-25)
total b=number of deluxe in the 3 ships will be:
x+(x+18)+(3x-25)
5x-7=928
5x=928+7
x=935/5
x=187
Hence the Pacific has 187, Caribbean has 187+18=205, Mediterranean has (3*187-25)
=534
