Answer:

$48

Step-by-step explanation:

The friends have the bus from 5:00 PM to 3:00 AM, so:

3 + 18 − 5 = 15 − 5 = 10 hours.

The cost of renting the bus will be:

$300 + $18 × 10 = $300 + $180 = $480.

The thirty-six students will contribute $12 each for a total of:

$12 × 36 = $432.

So Mr. Jones will pay:

$480 − $432 = $48.

Hope this helped :)
