walter buys a bus pass for 30$. everytime he rides the bus money is deducted from the value pass. he rode 12 times and 24$ was deducted from the pass. how much does each bus ride cost?

Answer 1

To solve this, set up a proportion and solve.


`(12)/(24)= (1)/(x) \\ \\ 12*x=24*1 \\ \\ 12x=24 \\ \\ x=2`

It cost $2 per ride.
