Question

Dan is organizing a trip to the airport for a group of 75 people.

He can use two types of taxi cabs.
A small taxi costs $40. for the trip and holds up to 4 people.
A large taxi costs $63 for the trip and holds up to 7 people.
1. If Max orders 6 large taxis, how many small taxis will he need?

Answer 1

6 large taxis x 7 people per large taxi = 42 people. In total there are 75 people. 75-42=32 people left. If you want to divide these people over small taxis, you divide 32 by 4, 32/4=8, so you need 8 small taxis
