The cost of chartering a bus for the great america trip was split evenly by the 20 students planning to go. The day before the trip, 10 more students decided to go. dividing the cost evenly among all 30 students brought the average cost down by $9.00 per person. What was the total cost of chartering the bus? Please answer me with an explanation

20c= 30(c-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step in solving a word problem is always to organize the information you have, and put it into equations to solve.
