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.

Answer:
Check the explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Kindly check the attached image below to see the step by step explanation to the question above.
We know that
In <span>a right triangle
c</span>²=a²+b²
where
a and b are the legs of triangle
c is the hypotenuse of the triangle
so
case 1)7,24,25
25²=7²+24²
25²-----> 625
7²+24²----> 625
625 is equal to 625----------> <span>form a right triangle
</span>
case 2) 7,23,24
24²=7²+23²
24²------> 576
7²+23²-----> 578
576 is not 578-------------> not form a right triangle
case 3) 7,25,26
26²=7²+25²
26²-----> 676
7²+25²-----> 674
676 is not 674-----> not form a right triangle
the answer is
7,24,25 form a right triangle
