Answer:

c. 2(b+20)=240

Explanation:

GIVEN : Mr. carter and Ms. torres need two buses to drive their classes to the amusement park. each class needs money to rent the bus and 20 to tip the driver. the two classes together raised $240.

To Find : . how much money can they spend on each bus rental?

Solution :

Let the rental of each bus be b

And each bus driver was given 20 as tip

so, total cost for 1 bus = b+20

Cost for two buses = 2(b+20)

since we are given the two classes together raised $240

⇒2(b+20)=240

Hence Option C is correct

c. 2(b+20)=240
