Answer 2

Answer: The bus company charges $300 for 50 people.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of people = 30

Charged by the bus company = $180

If the number of people = 50

Let the charges by the bus company be 'x'.

According to question, it becomes,

`(180)/(30)=(x)/(50)\\\\6* 50=x\\\\\$300=x`

Hence, the bus company charges $300 for 50 people.
