Part 1)

Let

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

we know that

[tex]12x=\$24[/tex]

Solve for x

Divide both sides by [tex]12[/tex]

[tex]12x/12=\$24/12[/tex]

[tex]x=\$2[/tex]

therefore

the answer part 1) is

The cost of each bus ride is [tex]\$2[/tex]

Part 2)

Find the number of Elisa's withdrawals

Divide the total withdrew by the withdrew at a time

so

[tex]\frac{\$140}{\$20}=7\ times[/tex]

Find the number of Francis's withdrawals

Divide the total withdrew by the withdrew at a time

so

[tex]\frac{\$270}{\$45}=6\ times[/tex]

[tex]7\ times > 6\ times[/tex]

therefore
