calculista

Part 1)

Let

x--------> the cost of each bus ride

we know that

\(12x=\$24\)

Solve for x

Divide both sides by \(12\)

\(12x/12=\$24/12\)

\(x=\$2\)

therefore

the answer part 1) is

The cost of each bus ride is \(\$2\)

Part 2)

Find the number of Elisa's withdrawals

Divide the total withdrew by the withdrew at a time

so

\(\frac{\$140}{\$20}=7\ times\)

Find the number of Francis's withdrawals

Divide the total withdrew by the withdrew at a time

so

\(\frac{\$270}{\$45}=6\ times\)

\(7\ times > 6\ times\)

therefore

the answer Part 2) is

the greatest number of withdrawals were made by Elisa
