The total cost would be $750.00

We can write a formula for the total cost of renting dirt bikes as:

#r = $37.50 xx t#

where #r# is the rental cost and #t# is the total number of bikes rented.

We can now substitute #20# for #t# and find the rental cost:

#r = $37.50 xx 20#

#r = $750.00#

The rent cost for 20 bikes is $750.00

Lest total cost be #C_t#

#"bike count "xx" cost to rent 1 bike" = "total cost"#

#20xx$37.50=C_t#

But #" "20 = 2xx10#

So we have:

#2xx10xx$37.50 = C_t#

#2xx$375.0=C_t#

#$750=C_t#
