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.

I do not the question. Please explain
Answer:
x + 6x+10 + x+2 = 180
x = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees
x + 6x+10 + x+2 = 180
Combine like terms
8x + 12 = 180
Subtract 12 from each side
8x+12-12 = 180-12
8x =168
Divide each side by 8
8x/8 = 168/8
x =21
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
Yung bought 46 pieces of bubble gum for $4.6
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
We are given that each piece of gum cost $0.1 and that he spent $4.6 on gums
<u>To get the number of gums he bought, we will simply use cross multiplication as follows:</u>
1 piece .........................> 0.1
x pieces ......................> 4.6
<u>Therefore:</u>
pieces of gum
Hope this helps :)
