The cost of chartering a bus for 50 students costs 30 dollars per person. How much will it cost per student if 40 students go on the bus and total cost remains the same?

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data

50 students

$30 per person

Step 02:

40 students

Total Cost:

40 students * $30/student = $1200

The total cost will be different.

The cost per student remains the same.

That is the answer.
