Question

Don't want the answer, just need help solving it.

Of the 540 students at a high school, 35% of them are going a field trip to the local zoo. The number of students for each bus that can be seated is 42. How many buses will the school need so that all the students can attend?

Answer 1

0.35 x 540 = how many are going on the field trip
divide that answer by 42 and round up to the nearest whole number
eg if the answer was 4.6, you would need 5 buses
