Mr. Carter and Ms. Torres need two buses to drive their classes to the amusement perk. Each class needs money to rent a bus and $20 to tip the driver. The two classes together raised $240. How much money can they spend on each bus rental?

Answer:

$100

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they are renting 2 buses, they will need 2 bus drivers. They will tip each driver $20; this will be a total of 2(20) = $40.

This means they will have $240-$40 = $200 left for the buses.

They will be renting 2 buses; this gives them 200/2 = $100 for each bus.

20x2 = 40 tip

240-40 = 200 rent for 2 busses

240/2 = 100 $ they can spend on each bus rental.
