Algebra.Com's Answer #221710 by mananth(16946)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! cost for the bus = $ x \n" ); document.write( "number of students = N \n" ); document.write( "Cost per student = x/N \n" ); document.write( ".\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4 backed out. \n" ); document.write( "total students now = N-4 \n" ); document.write( "cost per head = x/ N-4 \n" ); document.write( "Difference = x/ N-4 - x/N \n" ); document.write( "This is the increase in cost \n" ); document.write( " |
