Answer:

a. C = 7x

b. $1820

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of students the bus carries be x.

a. It costs $7 for every student that they bus.

Therefore, the cost of the school hiring the bus is:

C = 7 * x

C = 7x

b. To bus 260 students, then, the cost will be:

C = 7 * 260

C = $1820
