Question 971428: The cost of hiring a bus for an outing is $240 and this was to be shared by the x people. On. The day if excursion,4 people were unable to make it. The remaining people had to share the cost of the hiring of the bus instead, so that each person had to pay an extra $2.
Form an equation in x and solve it to find the amount that each person has to pay originally. Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) (Show Source):
