Question

A school conference room can seat a maximum of 83 people. The principal and two counselors need to meet with the school’s student athletes to discuss eligibility requirements. If each student must bring a parent with them, what is the maximum number of students that can attend each meeting?

Answer 1

40 students

Explanation:

We do not count the counselors or the principal because they are not students, so we do 83 - 3 = 80, now it is just simple division, for every student there is a parent, so we divide 80 in half, 80 / 2 = 40 students :D
