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.

Red : Cream : Blue
2 : 3 : 1
2x2 : 3x2 : 1x2
4 : 6 : 2
You need 6 parts of Cream and 2 parts of Blue
Convert 7/11 to a decimal value.
7 divided by 11 = 0.636364
Subtract 0.636364 to 0.757576 and divide the difference
by 2.
Following the equation, 0.636364 - 0.757576 =
0.121212.
<span>0.121212 divided by 2, the quotient is 0.06 (06
is repeating) </span>
26/100 = x/82 I think that's what you want.
