The cost to rent a small bus for a trip is x dollars, which is to be shared equally among the people taking the trip. If 10 people take the trip rather than 24, how many more dollars, in terms of x, will it cost per person? Choose the correct option:
A) x/6
B) x/17
C) x/40
D) 3x/40
E) 3x/80
Just plugging in values   X= 240   Cost per person if we consider 10 = 24   Cost per person if we consider 24 = 10   Difference between costs is 14 dollars.   Plugging in the value of x into the answer choices, let's see which one yields a result of 14. And that is x/17.
