Answer:

A) 7 buses

B) 3 empty seats

Explanation:

1. find total number of people


232 children + 45 adults = 277 total people

2. divide


(277 people)/(40 people per bus) = 6 remainder 37

this tells us that there will be 6 buses that will be full, and the 7th bus will have 37 out of the 40 seats full...
