Use this formula:
(Hourly Cost) x (10 hours) + (Rental Fee)
Use the formula for each company. Do it in this order.
Good luck.

Ok so it 50x+100=25x + 200 then you subtract 100 from both sides so that it is 50x=25x+ 100 then you subtract 25x from both sides so that it is 25x= 100 so divide that by 25 and you get x=4 4 hours makes it so that the companies prices are even.
For the cost of renting a bus for Allans for 10 hours is:
x=10
50 times ten equals 500
500+ the 100 dollar rental fee makes
600 dollars to rent for 10 hours.
Then for the Bliss Busses
25 times ten equals 250
250 + 200
450 is how much it will cost for 10 hours!

its easy:
Allans Bus Company: 100 + 50(10)=100+500=600
Bills Busses: 200 + 25(10)=200+250=450

bus A = 100 + 50X
Bus B = 200 + 25X
plug in 10 for the X values.
Bus A = 600
Bus B = 450

$600
$450
10 hour x 50 = 500+100 rental= 600
10 hour x 25 = 250 +200 rental=450

Allan's bus company equation: (when x = the number of hours)
50x+100= price
Bill's busses equation:
25x+200= price
substitute 10 for each of the "x"'s....
50(10)+100= $600-----Allan's
25(10)+200= $450-----Bill's
So Bill's has the better deal....

Allans-> $100 + ($50/hr x 10 hrs) = $100 +$500 = $600 total
Bills-> $200 + ($25/hr x 10 hrs) = $200 + $250 = $450 total

Allans: 100+50x
Bills: 200 + 25x
to find for 10 hours plug in 10 for x (being hours)
100+50(10)
200+25(10)

umm..i'm in seventh grade and this is what we consider easy...lol i'm sorry i know that doesn't help, so here's the answer:
the equation would be
rental fee + time * fee per hour = total amount
so, for the Allans bus company, it would be
$100 + $50(10) = $600
and for Bills Busses, it would be
$200+$25(10) = $450
$450 < $600, so Bill's Busses would be cheaper

100+(50*10) 100+500 600
200+(25*10) 200+250 450
