The senior classes at High School A and High School B planned separate trips to the water parks. The senior class at High School A rented and filled 8 vans and 9 buses with 276 students. High School B rented and filled 1 van and 9 buses with 192 students. Each van and each bus carried the same number of students. How many students can a van carry? How many students can a bus carry?

Respuesta :

A van can carry 12 people and a bus can carry 20 people.

EXPLANATION

School A needed 7 more vans to carry 84 more students than School B. This means that we need to do 84 ÷ 7 = 12 students per van.

To find the amount of students per bus, we need to take the 12 people on the van from School B's 192 to get 180. We then do 180 ÷ 9 = 20 people per bus.
