If 40% of the students are on the smaller bus, 60% of the students are on the larger bus. This means that 42 is equal to 60%. This also means that 7 is equal to 10%, and that 70 is equal to 100%.

If the total amount of students is 70 and 42 of them are on the larger bus, there are a total of 28 students onboard the smaller bus.

Answer: 70

Answer:

Explanation:

If 42 is 60%, let's find what 10% would be. 42 divided by 6 = 7. 10% would be 7 kids. now, we can do 7*4 because on the small bus is 40% of kids. 7*4=28 kids. 28 + 42 = 70 kids. you could have also done 7*10 for this answer because of the 7 = 10% and we want the 100%
